Managing groups

Contacts are arranged in groups. Bria has three default groups: Family, Friends, and Work. There are two types of groups in Bria – local groups and a Bria group. The Bria group is read only; if you notice something need changing, talk to the administrator of your team who set you up on Bria.

If you have your G-Suite account added to Bria, you see the same groups from G-Suite in Bria. These groups have on them as an identifier. G-Suite groups are read-only in Bria. If you want to make a change to the G-Suite groups, make the changes directly through G-Suite.

Each contact must belong to at least one group and can belong to multiple groups. You can create, rename, and delete local groups.
