Using Google Groups to Restrict Access to Waves

Free and slightly enhanced translation from Groups: The Google Groups Solution (Elliot Cable et al)

It is still not mentioned anywhere in public waves or documents, and probably it's time to mark this moment. Especially given the vulnerability of public waves.

The Google Wave Server has support for groups and minimal means of restricting access based on them. They just forgot to tell us about it.

This is implemented using an existing service - Google Groups.

In the future, the waves will have their own access controls, but for now this is the only available temporary solution.



main idea

Users who are not members of your group will not be able to add messages to this wave, unless they join the Googlegroup.

There is no way to remove a group from a wave, just like with a public one.

[4 Oct 09] Lars Rasmussen:

You can find a group in the list of contacts, click on the avatar, and then click on the “recent waves” button and get a list of all the waves of this group.

Then, of course, we will do other elements of working with groups.
