What to Expect When Your CalGroups Folder is Synced with Google Groups
All the groups in your CalGroups folder will show up as Google groups. The admin of a group in CalGroups will become the manager of that group in Google. Adding or deleting members can only be done in CalGroups, which will propagate to Google. You may also delete the group in CalGroups, which will cause it to disappear from the Google Groups list.
The following are the default settings for CalGroups synced to Google, which managers can change. There are also optional attributes that can be set. Managers are advised to review all the Google group management settings and configure them for your needs.
