Google Groups: Adding a group to another group (nested groups)

Before doing this, think carefully! If people try to unsubscribe from a group that they were added to by virtue of being in another group, they will accidentally unsubscribe themselves from that nested group. This could cause problems for them if the nested group is important to their work!

Nesting Google Groups

  1. Go to Google Groups in a web browser and, if prompted, sign in to your account
  2. Click on the My groups button
  3. Click on the group you want to add another group to
  4. Select Manage Members
  5. Click on Invite Members
  6. Add the email address of the group you wish to nest within this group

Again, be very careful with this method of nesting groups. See the warning above.
