Admin Console - Email Groups
- Chris Veneto
The Email Groups functionality allows you to create distribution lists that can be used within your PreVeil organization. These Groups can be used with both Mail and Drive functionality, eliminating the need to type in multiple addresses to send emails or share data in Drive to a group of people.
The naming format for a group is an email address format. The only restriction is that the group name can’t be an an email address already associated with an existing PreVeil account. Other than that, you can name the Groups whatever you want; the names do not need to be associated with an actual email address outside of PreVeil.
Group email addresses only apply within your PreVeil organization; you cannot include email addresses of PreVeil users outside of your organization.

Click the Admin Console option in the menu bar at the top of the PreVeil browser application, and then select Email Groups from the left-hand menu.
