Add and Remove Members

Last modified: 17 December 2019

A group all by itself isn't all that special. It's the users who belong to the group and the access they are granted as a result of their membership.

You manage which users belong to a group on the Members tab of the group profile page.

Add a User to a Group

You can add single user accounts to a group. The user account is granted access permissions that are assigned to the group.

Requires permissions: Read User Basic, Update Group

Open the Administration > Groups page.
Locate the target group and click its name to open its profile.
On the Members tab, click the Add User button.
Select a user account to add to the group. To filter the list, start typing a user name.

The selected user account is added to the group and inherits all of the access permissions from the group.

You can select multiple user accounts and add them all to a group at once.
