Dynamic groups overview
A dynamic group is a
Google Group whose memberships are automatically managed using a membership
query or a query on employee attributes, such as job role or building location.
For example, a membership query might be "all users whose job role is Technical
Writer in my organization."
As part of the group's definition, you supply the query and Google systems
ensure that all matching users in your organization are members of the group.
Membership queries are written using
Common Expression Language (CEL)
which is the standard language used to write expressions for Google Cloud
APIs.
Though dynamic groups are created and maintained differently than Google Groups,
they are used for the same purposes. Namely, dynamic groups are used as email
groups (to send email to a specific set of people) and for managing
Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Google Workspace policies.
For further information on IAM policies, see
IAM.
For further information on Google Workspace policies, see
Customize access to Google Workspace services using access groups
and Customize service settings with configuration groups.
