1. I created my Google Workstation Account for my business.
2. My intention is to primarily use Google Workspace for Calendaring. Three people in the company are responsible for doing all the calendaring. Everyone else will have read access to the calendars. The calendars are divided into bundles.
3. I created usernames for the 3 people responsible for calendaring.
4. Next I created a group for the 3 users. The CALMAN Group. Anyone added to the CALMAN group will be responsible for calendaring.
5. Next I created a username for a "bundle" of Calendars. There are 16 calendars belonging to the username.
6. Next I gave the CALMAN group read/write permissions for the 16 calendars.
Everything worked as expected. Each of the usernames in the CALMAN group received notifications that the calendars had been shared with them. Each of the users were given the opportunity to add each of the 16 calendars to their usernames. So far so good.
7. Next I created a new group. STANDARD. This group is meant for everyone else. Everyone else in the company just reads the calendars. I gave the STANDARD group read only permissions for all of the 16 calendars.
8. I created a couple new usernames. I added the usernames to the new STANDARD group.
9. I waited for the prescribed 1 hour.
After waiting for an hour no notifications of new calendar access came to the users in the STANDARD group. I kept trying, however no joy. Each subsequent attempt provided no notifications.. I've tried over and over.
How have I screwed this up? Why did it work perfectly the first time, but I cannot repeat it with a new group with new users?
Thank you for considering my issue.
