When you create a personal contact group in your UofL Email, you may include anyone in the group (even external email addresses like Gmail, Yahoo, etc). However, you are the only person who may use your personal contact groups; they cannot be shared.

·         Public Contact Groups

When you create a public contact group in your UofL Email, you may only include other UofL Email users in your group. The advantage is that other UofL Email users can see and use your public contact groups. Public groups may be controlled by the following settings:

·         Open - Any UofL Email user can join or leave the group at anytime.

·         Restricted Access - UofL Email users can only join or leave the group with approval from the creator of the group.

·         Membership Closed - All requests to join or leave the group are automatically rejected.
