View a group's members

This page is for administrators who manage groups for an organization. To manage groups for your own account, visit Google Groups help.

As a Groups administrator, you can always view the members of all of your organization’s groups. The access and visibility settings you choose for your organization’s groups, combined with an individual group’s settings, determine who else can view the group's members.

Where can I do this? You can view group members either in your Admin console or Google Groups. You can view users who have been banned from a group in Google Groups.

View a group’s direct members

As an administrator, you can easily identify which members of a group are direct members.

In the Admin console, go to Menu DirectoryGroups.
Click the name of a groupMembers.

In the Google Admin console, you can view all members of a group (direct and indirect) in a single list. If groups are members of the parent group, they appear in the list as members. Members of groups nested in other groups appear as indirect members of the parent group. If a member belongs to the parent group and another group nested inside the group, they are direct and indirect members.

Use the members list to review all members of a group, including banned members. However, to find out whether a member is banned or identify a member's role (owner, manager, or member), go to the group in Google Groups.

To review all members of a group:

Sign in to your Google Admin console.
Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).
In the Admin console, go to Menu DirectoryGroups.
Click the name of a group.
Click Members.
Click Direct and indirect members.

Other ways to view group members

You can also view group members in Gmail and calendar invitations.
