Do I actually need Google Groups enabled for all users in order to send group emails?

I recently found out that I do not need Vault enabled for all users in order for Vault to work, and I am wondering if the same is true for Groups.

 

Can I disable the Groups app listed in the admin panel / apps for all OUs, but leave it enabled for the admin OU, and will all the groups I have setup for all the staff still work from an emailing group perspective?

Possibly not, since users can have personal settings in place for the groups they're included in. We configure all of our groups to not archive messages in the web app and to not allow users to post messages via the web, so that the web app essentially just lists a user's groups for them.

 

Should be an easy enough thing to test.
