Google Directory Mailing Lists

Mailing Lists are a membership object in Google that eases the task of ensuring a group of people have consistent permissions to a group of related resources. You may see them referred to as Mailing lists. The lists of related resources varies slightly depending on where the Mailing list is created.

This design step allows you to create rules to select specific users using filters and assign them the desired Mailing lists.

The Groups selected in "Default Lists Mapping" will be associated with all the users.

Note- This is a optional step, there is no need for you to fill out the default Mailing lists dropdown to move to the next step.

How to create a Rule for mapping the Mailing Lists?

Once you are on this step you will see a section under the heading Add User to Microsoft 365 Groups. This section represents a rule based on which Microsoft 365 Groups can be assigned to selected users.

Figure 2. Define Microsoft 365 Groups Mapping Rule Form

Following are the steps to create a rule:

1. You can set up the filters to select the users you want to assign Microsoft 365 Groups to. You can create a filter using the following steps -

   • Click on "Choose Attribute" and select employee attribute and operation you want to apply to match that attribute.
   • Next, you get a "Value" field where you type the value you want to match the attribute with and also choose the Microsoft 365 Groups you want to assign.

3. You can add and remove multiple rows of the above filters using + and - buttons respectively inside the box.
