Enable External Members on a Google Group  KB0016585

(*) (*) (*) (*) (*)

By default, Google Groups do not allow external email addresses (anything not @ncsu.edu) to be a member of a Google Group.  Group Managers can manage this setting for their groups directly.  Keep in mind if a group with external members is used for calendar invites or sharing of Google files and folders, the external members will also be included with the same permissions.
