Exercise 9: Create dynamic groups

A dynamic group is a Google Group whose memberships are automatically managed using a membership query or a query based on employee attributes, such as a job role or building location. For example, a membership query might be "all users whose job role is Technical Writer in my organization."

As a Groups administrator, you can create dynamic groups to add and remove members automatically based on a membership query you create. This helps keep groups up to date, especially if your organization has many locations or changing team members.

You can use dynamic groups as:

• Email and distribution lists

• Moderated groups and Collaborative Inboxes

• Security groups

In the previous exercise, you learned how to enable and disable a service for an individual OU. This alignment between service status and organizational structure is very useful, but if you want to enable a service for some users in an OU but keep it disabled for others, you’ll need to use dynamic groups. For instructions on how to create a dynamic group, see the article “Manage membership automatically with dynamic groups” in the Help Center resources section.
