If you're like most of the schools we work with, you've probably encountered situations where a single email sent to a group on your domain, triggered an avalanche of messages and replies overwhelming everyone involved.

That's where go-for-for-groups comes in. It allows you to effortlessly import your domain groups into a Google sheet directly from the admin console, giving you a centralized place to analyze your settings of your groups.

With just a few clicks, you can quickly identify groups with permissive posting settings that might be causing the email chaos.

Gopher for groups not only helps you identify these risky settings, but also lets you update who in the group can post messages.

We typically recommend changing the settings to all members can post or all managers can post to avoid such issues. Once you've identified groups with permissive posting rights, you can easily make changes right in the sheet and use the sidebar to propagate those changes in bulk.

One of the most frequently used filters is the permissive join rates filter. Similar to the posting rates filter, this filter identifies groups that are set to anyone can join or all in domain can join.

It helps you pinpoint groups that might be prone to unauthorized access. You can follow the same straightforward process we outlined earlier to remedy these settings as well.
