Auto-expanding group email address

[Amit]

I have a web app where-in all users and group emails under a given
google apps account are being fetched using provisioning API.

When a user inputs a team email address in UI, it is automatically
expanded to the email address of all members in that group.

e.g.
Say group email is:
g...@example.com
Members of group are:
a...@example.com (member)
d...@example.com (member)
i...@example.com (owner)

When a user (say a...@example.com) logs in my app and writes
'...@example.com', it is replaced by
'a...@example.com,d...@example.com,i...@example.com'

Now if the group is of type 'announcement', will it be a good idea
(from security point of view) to expand group email?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Hello,

Is this an application you are making available to your own domain or all domain that would subscribes to it?

I guess this is up to what you application is trying to accomplish and as long as the proper credentials are required and you make sure only the users who should see this information are the only ones seing it, you should be fine :-)

Best,

Alain
