# Group properties

To access, select **Group configuration**, under the **Administration** tab on the **group dashboard page.** These values control how the [group](group.md) behaves when, for example, an email is sent from an address that the group has no authority to accept from. These same values can be set at the [project](project.md) level. Also, the group properties in the [global template](../../../_external/ps/doc/help/help/2_terms_and_explanations/term/global_template.md) are the default values for all groups.

Group properties are part of the [group configuration](group_config.md). *See* [API documentation: Group properties](../../guide/configuration/properties/group_properties.md) for inheritance and additional details.

> **Tip:** New users should proceed with caution when editing these properties. The rules of inheritance and overrides can be confusing, so it is often best to start with changes at the project level, rather than the group.



> **Warning:** Experiment with the group properties on a development server before making changes to a production server.
