Group Management System missing features
The group API and portal are known to be missing some of the features provided by e-groups. Given the intended replacement of e-groups by this new Group Management System (GMS), we aim at feature parity to allow all uses to transfer without hurdles.
Contributing to this list
If you believe that you cannot migrate to the new GMS because of a missing feature, please contact us and provide us with enough details to explain your case.
The preferred method for such contact, to allow proper tracking, is through a service now ticket
