guides send feedback best practices for using google groups stay organized with collections save and categorize content based on your preferences this document describes some best practices for using google groups to manage access to google cloud resources with identity and access management iam types of groups the types of groups listed here are one way to think about use and manage google groups these group types aren t set by any google group attribute however using these group types in your overall approach to google group management can help you avoid some common security pitfalls this document uses the following types of groups organizational groups organizational groups represent subsets of an organization s structure and are typically sourced from human resources data they might be based on department reporting structure geographic location or other organizational groupings the members of an organizational group change when an employee joins the organization moves to a different department or leaves the organization the overall structure of organizational groups can change when the business reorganizes a reorganization might lead to new groups being created or existing groups being retired some examples of organizational groups include org marketing fte org finance all org msmith reports org apac all and org summer interns organizational groups are typically used for email communication collaboration groups collaboration groups represent workgroups project members or users that want to collaborate on a project or discuss a specific topic the structure of collaboration groups isn t linked to any organizational structure they are often created on an ad hoc self service basis membership in collaboration groups can be unrestricted allowing anybody in the organization to join alternatively a collaboration group can be self managed meaning that certain members can decide who else to include in the group some examples of collaboration groups include collab security discuss and collab website relaunch collaboration groups are typically used for email communication access groups access groups are used for the sole purpose of providing access they represent job functions and are used to simplify the assignment of roles required to perform these job functions instead of granting roles to individual principals you grant roles to the group and then manage group membership the structure of access groups is influenced by the structure of the resources or workloads in your organization the deployment of a new resource or workload might require the creation of new access groups membership in access groups is generally controlled by one or more group owners who either invite users to the group or approve users requests to join the group some examples of access groups include access prod firewall admins access finance datamart viewers and access billing dashboard users access groups are used only to provide access they are not used for communication purposes enforcement groups enforcement groups are similar to access groups except that they re used to enforce access restriction policies rather than providing access the structure of enforcement groups is typically influenced by a combination of compliance requirements and organizational structure membership in an enforcement group is typically determined by a set of predefined rules that look at a user s clearance level location or role in the organization some examples of enforcement groups include enforcement users in restricted locations enforcement fedramp low and enforcement sso users enforcement groups are used only to enforce access restriction policies they are not used for communication purposes name your groups to reflect their type to help you follow the best practices in the rest of this document use group names that let you determine the type of a group from its name you can use a naming convention or secondary domains naming convention here is one example of a naming convention to make the group type visible organizational groups org group_name example com for example org finance all example com collaboration groups collab team_name example com for example collab msmiths team example com access groups access job_function example com for example access billing dashboard users example com enforcement groups enforcement group_description example com for example enforcement sso users example com adopt the convention that works for your organization and is supported by your group management software using a prefix alphabetizes your groups by function but some group management systems such as groups for business support only suffixes if you can t use prefixes you can use suffixes or secondary domains secondary domains as an alternative to naming conventions you can use secondary domains to embed the group type into the name for example access example com secondary domains that are a subdomain of a verified domain don t require verification and don t need to exist in dns furthermore by not creating dns mail exchange mx records for the secondary domains you can block inbound emails from coming to groups that aren t intended for communication nesting rules different types of groups have different rules for whether nesting accepting a group as a member is allowed nesting rules for organizational groups nesting organizational groups to reflect your org chart is a best practice this approach means that every employee is included in one group and then the groups include each other for example the org finance all group might contain the groups org finance us org finance germany and org finance australia as members you can add organizational groups to any of the other group types as members this can be much easier than having to add every member of an organizational group to another group don t add any other group type to an organizational group as a member don t use access enforcement or collaboration groups as part of an organizational hierarchy nesting rules for collaboration groups every collaboration group should have a well defined set of policies that determine how members are added if two collaboration groups follow the same membership policies they can be nested however nesting collaboration groups with different membership policies can let members that don t meet the membership policies of a group become members review the membership policies carefully before nesting collaboration groups collaboration groups can have organizational groups as members nesting rules for access groups typically you shouldn t nest access groups nesting access groups can make it difficult to determine who has access to what resources additionally nesting access groups with different access policies might let principals bypass strict access group membership policies access groups can have organizational groups as members nesting rules for enforcement groups don t nest enforcement groups nesting enforcement groups can make it difficult to determine why a principal is being denied access additionally nesting enforcement groups with different membership policies might cause some principals to be affected by unintended restrictions enforcement groups can have organizational groups as members manage organizational groups use the following best practices to manage your organizational groups provision from a single source of truth because organizational groups are based on human resources data it s best to provision these groups exclusively from a human resources information system or from an external source of truth for example an external identity provider idp or an identity governance system such as sailpoint okta or entra id don t allow group modifications don t add or remove users from an organizational group manually and don t let users remove themselves from an organizational group note preventing users from leaving a google group requires changing a default setting by using the groups settings api to set the whocanleavegroup property to none_can_leave avoid using organizational groups to provide ac...
