View a group's members

This page is for administrators who manage groups for an organization. If you're not an admin and need help managing your own groups, go to the Learning Center.

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.

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:

  1. In the Google Admin console, go to Menu and then Directory and then Groups.

    Requires having the Groups administrator privilege.

  2. Click the name of a group.
  3. Click Members.
  4. Click Direct and indirect members.
