Groups
To bring together employees from different departments (for example, to work on a large project or with a particular customer), you can create a group. You can nest groups into each other, creating hierarchical structures of any complexity. We don't recommend adding more than 10,000 members per group.
If your organization has an email domain, you can create a mailing list to send emails to all members of a group at once. For example, when you're planning a large meeting in Yandex Calendar and want to invite more than 100 participants.
Manage groups
Note
Only admins can manage groups. Even the group supervisor can't edit or move it.
On the Groups tab, you can add new groups, edit or move the existing ones, and delete groups when you no longer need them.

Manage group members
Note
Only admins can manage group members. Not even the group supervisor can add or remove its members.
You can add employees to groups, appoint supervisors, and remove employees from groups if they no longer participate in them.
Each group can have up to 10,000 members. The total number of members is calculated taking into account each member's participation in the upper-level group and all the nested groups, if there are any.
