Adding Users to Security Groups

There are two methods you can use to move users between security groups. They both end up with the same results, but each one is more efficient in different circumstances:

• All the users are part of the same security group, and you want to move them to various other groups
• All the users are members of several different groups, and you want to move them into the same group

Additionally, you can create a brand new user for an existing security group.

Move Users From a Group

1. On the Group Administration home page, select the group the users are currently in.
2. Click Configure > Members.
3. Use checkboxes to select all the users you wish to move to another group.
4. Click Actions > Edit User Group.
5. Search for the name of the group you wish to move the users into.
6. Click Save. The users will be moved immediately.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 to move additional users into any number of new security groups.

Move Users Into a Group

1. On the Group Administration home page, select the group you wish to move users into.
2. Click Configure > Members.
3. Use the contact search box to look for a person to add to the group. If the contact already has a username, it will appear in parentheses.

5. The added contacts will appear in a separate table above the members of the group who were already there.

6. If any of the new members do not already have a username and password then you will be prompted to add one. Click the Username link for that contact to set their username and password.
7. Click Save Added Users to Group to confirm adding the new members.

Create a New User

1. On the Group Administration home page, select the group where the new user will go.
