Google workspace#

We have a Google Workspace account that gives us @2i2c.org e-mail addresses with GMail, Google Drive, and a few other services as well.

Administrator console#

We access and configure our account via the Google Workspaces admin panel at workspace.google.com.

To access it, click on Admin Console.

Access and permissions#

Any team lead should have administrative access to this space - if you don’t then please request it and it will be granted.

Groups and shared e-mails#

We use Google Groups to define e-mail inboxes that we share between team members. We also use this to provide group access to files and folders in our shared Google Drives.

To see a list of all Google Groups at 2i2c:

  • Go to groups.google.com with your 2i2c account.

  • Click on All groups to see all groups at 2i2c.

admin@2i2c.org - shared Admin account#

This is a shared Google Group inbox that we use for administrative correspondence - for example, invoices we receive (see Send invoices to CS&S) and other operational mail.

Any 2i2c team member is welcome to join so they can see this correspondence directly. To join:

  1. Go to groups.google.com signed in with your @2i2c.org account.

  2. Click All groups and find admin@2i2c.org.

  3. Open the group and click Join group.

Once you’ve joined, messages sent to admin@2i2c.org will be delivered to your @2i2c.org inbox, and the full archive is browsable at groups.google.com.

Add new members#

You may add new team members to our Google Workspace account via the Admin Panel. This will give them Google Drive access as well as an @2i2c.org account. However, we pay monthly for every person-specific e-mail address.

As a rule of thumb, any team members of 2i2c get a workspace account. In addition, Steering Council members may get an account as well if they wish and if they intend to actively use it.
