Groups | Manage your Zoho account - Zoho Accounts

Groups

Groups tab in Zoho Accounts is used for creating personal groups among both users of organizations and external users. When a personal group is created in your Zoho account, it will be listed in some of your Zoho applications. Zoho Mail, Zoho Creator, and Zoho Calendar use these personal groups predominantly. These service teams can provide their own implementations. For example, Mail Streams in Zoho Mail. 

On creating a group, you become the group admin by default, where demoting yourself is not possible. The other users you add will have the Member role by default. You can later assign the Moderator role to required users. The permissions assigned to admins, moderators, and members are summarized below:

Permissions
Admin
Moderator
Member
Edit group details
Invite person to a group
Delete a group
Unsubscribe from a group
Convert a member to moderator
Delete a group member
Reinvite or delete an invitation

Some points to note:
  1. The people you invite will receive an invitation to their email address. Only on accepting, they get added to the group as members.
  2. A maximum of 10 invites can be sent within 24 hours. Each invite can include multiple users.
  3. The maximum member limit for a group depends on the data center (DC) your account belongs to. For example, a maximum of 150 members can be added to a group that belongs to the US data center. And for all other DCs, the maximum members limit is 30 only.
