How to make IT Admin the "OWNER" of Google groups

[Jaan]

Hi all,

 

Just wanted to know if another Google Admin could check a setting for me in their "Google Cloud Sync" App.

 

I have found where i need to change the setting, but i'm unable to find an example. not sure if its the DN i need to enter or simply the username and email address.

 

 

Google says the below, which doesn't mean too much to me:

I have managedBy in there

I have managedBy in there

 

with an email address below it?

 

Any change of a screenshot please?

Here you go, this is how ours is setup for group sync

Thanks for that, i'm still confused to how it knows which account to use as the owner or manager for the group just by putting managedBy into that field.

ManagedBy is a AD Attribute, I'm guessing you can add that in the mailing list properties - We don't have a default manager as we only use groups for mailing list purposes

I didn't even think about that! lol Thanks for that makes sense now.

 

So i just add my domain admin account or who ever is managing the email groups on the OU properties below?

 

 

thanks again

I'm guessing so, we don't use that field - worth a test anyway - it could make you a member of that mailing list but I'm not 100% sure
