Group Calendars
Group calendars - for example, a departmental vacation calendar - are created and shared by the owner as secondary calendars.
Best practices
We recommend creating group calendars using a Google Shared Account instead of an individual account. Calendars owned by an individual's account are deleted when that person leaves the university and is no longer affiliated.

You must contact the ITS Service Center to request a Discussion Group in the U-M Google domain. The Create Group button creates a Google Group outside of U-M Google that is not protected by our contract with Google.

This document provides information about managing the MCommunity Directory group profile associated with a Google Shared Account and changing the UMICH password associated with that account. (Shared Accounts allow a group to have a U-M Google account owned by that group rather than by an individual.)
MCommunity Directory groups are synchronized to U-M Google and U-M Dropbox so you can use them when sending email, sharing resources, and collaborating. This document lists what parts of MCommunity groups are sent to U-M Google and U-M Dropbox.
