3.0 branch (Drupal 7 only)

The module works by implementing the Google Apps Provisioning API. You will need to have a paid (or educational/nonprofit) Google Apps account to use this version of the module.

Please visit the Google OAuth documentation for how to register your Drupal site as an authorized web application for your google Apps account.

Creation of the 3.x branch sponsored by Big Switch Networks and ongoing development sponsored by Illinois Legal Aid Online.

Note (May 15, 2016): We are actively working on bringing this branch up to date so that it works with the current Google API.

2.0 branch (Drupal 7 only)

Older versions of the module worked by sending an email to your Google Group's subscription address.

The owner of the address added will still have to verify their address by clicking the link in Google's confirmation email. This version ONLY works for Google Groups with an @googlegroups.com address.
