Only those roles have permission to add members. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/accessibility/answer/2525100?hl=en&utm_source=openai))  \n- The group must be set up so that **email delivery is allowed** for its members. Delivery is part of each member\u2019s subscription settings. ([support.ucsd.edu](https://support.ucsd.edu/its?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0035166&utm_source=openai))  \n- If you plan to add external (non-domain or non-Google) emails, check if the group allows that. Some groups restrict membership to internal users. ([it.stonybrook.edu](https://it.stonybrook.edu/help/kb/adding-non-stonybrookedu-emails-to-google-groups?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### Using Google Groups with JAWS in Chrome on Windows 11\n\nJAWS works best in Chrome with Forms Mode enabled, or with the virtual cursor turned off, when navigating Google Groups. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/accessibility/answer/2525100?hl=en&utm_source=openai))\n\n#### Step-by-step to directly add members\n\n1. Sign in to Google with your Google Workspace or regular account.\n2. Open Google Groups via **groups.google.com**.\n3. Navigate to **My groups** (in the sidebar), then locate the group to which you want to add members. You must be owner or manager to manage it. ([support.ucsd.edu](https://support.ucsd.edu/its?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0035166&utm_source=openai))  \n4. Enter the group by clicking its name (or pressing Enter if focused).  \n5. On the left navigation panel, move down until you reach **People** or **Members**. Use Tab or arrow keys. Then press Enter to open the member management page. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/accessibility/answer/2525100?hl=en&utm_source=openai))  \n6. In the main panel you should find an **Add members** (or \u201cAdd Members\u201d button) at the top of the members list. Use Tab until you hear \u201cAdd members\u201d and press Enter. ([support.ucsd.edu](https://support.ucsd.edu/its?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0035166&utm_source=openai))  \n7. A dialog opens with fields for adding **Members**, **Managers**, or **Owners**. Navigate to the **Members** field (you likely want that role) and enter the email addresses of the people you want to add. Separate multiple addresses with commas. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9303222?hl=en&utm_source=openai))  \n8. If available, enter a **welcome message**. This is optional. It\u2019s useful especially if the people being added are outside your organization. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9303222?hl=en&utm_source=openai))  \n9. Decide whether to **Directly add members** or to send an invitation:\n   - If you leave **Directly add members** turned on, individuals will be added immediately and will receive emails sent to the group without needing to accept anything. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/accessibility/answer/2525100?hl=en&utm_source=openai))  \n   - If you turn that option off, new members will receive an *invitation email* and must accept before they start receiving group-sent emails. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9303222?hl=en&utm_source=openai))  \n10. Set **subscription settings**: how often the new members get emails (each post, digest, none, etc.). This is often in that same dialog. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9303222?hl=en&utm_source=openai))  \n11. Once everything is set, tab to the **Add** or **Confirm** button and press Enter.\n\n---\n\n### JAWS-specific tips during this process\n\n- Use **Forms Mode** when you're in fields where you type (like entering emails or welcome message).\n- When exploring the \"Add members\" dialog, the fields will be labeled so you should hear \u201cMembers field,\u201d \u201cManagers field,\u201d etc.\n- Use the Tab and Shift+Tab keys to move forward or backward through buttons and form controls.\n- If you have the Virtual Cursor on, it can interfere in forms\u2014JAWS guides recommend turning off virtual cursor in forms so you can interact more directly. ([support.google.com](https://support.google.com/accessibility/answer/2525100?hl=en&utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you'd like, I can also walk you through doing this by voice-command or through keyboard only, with JAWS specific shortcuts. Do you want me to send that as well?"
