Hopefully someone has done what I am trying to achieve.

We currently have a bunch of dynamic groups however the problem is setting posting / email permissions is still a manual process.

I am aware that there is a an API for this however is anyone aware of an off the shelf solution that allows Google group rights to be managed based on queries similar to how the dynamic group memberships work.

Thanks

The GAM cheat sheet (attached, but can also be Google image searched) indicates a range of group settings that can be managed; perhaps it has what you need too :)

Hi Blake 

We recently ran into this problem...

The trick is set that you will need to set up "Default' options for what you want the majority of people to be as the default group THEN manually change permissions for the ''Exceptions" Google groups aren't quite as flexible im afraid

Jesse
