Google Groups – Web Posting Disabled by Domain Administrator

google-groups

I am a manager in a Google group. A friend of mine has registered to the group. When I look at his name in the members' list, I see:

Web posting has been disabled for this member by their domain administrator.

The friend's email address is "username@orange.net.il". So, initially I thought that the company "orange.net.il" blocked that user from google-groups for some reason. So I called them, but they told me that they don't block users.

So now I am wondering, what is the meaning of this error message and how can I resolve it?

That error message means that Google Groups is not turned on for your friend.

I have found the issue. In the domain that is hosted by Google they need to have Google Groups enabled, even if Groups for Business are enabled. In the Google hosted domain that belongs to the user that is showing this status "Web posting has been disabled for this member by their domain administrator" the admin will need to follow these stpes.

  • Open the Admin console for the domain https://admin.google.com/
  • Click on Additional Google Services
  • Click on Google Groups
  • In the top right corner of the gray box you will see three dots, click on this and choose ON for everyone This will change the state in the impacted group right away.
