Associating Multiple Users to a User Group
If you are creating multiple new users who require the same user group then these users can be added in bulk to the user group by the following method:
Create.
- In the repository, create each user individually.
- Open the User Group In the repository, open the user group to which you want to associate the users.
- In Open the user list, highlight . Select all the users you want to add from the user group. Use Shift+click or Ctrl+click to select multiple users.
- Drag the selected list into the Group Members tab of the user group.
Please note, in this method you are dragging and dropping Users onto the User Group window rather than User Groups onto the User window. The overall effect is the same in PhixFlow, this method is just described as it may be easier when creating a large number of users all associated to the same User GroupAdding users to the user group properties tab has the same effect as adding user groups to the user properties.
For more information on who can add or remove user group access to a user, see see the User Group page Access Permission section.
