Security groups help manage groups used for security and access control
What’s changing
- Apply a label to any existing Google Group to distinguish it from email-list groups.
- Provide strong guarantees that:
- External groups (owned outside your organization) and non-security groups cannot be added as a member of a security group.
- Security labels, once assigned to a group, cannot be removed.
