Grouper: Import a List of Members to Add or Remove them from a Group

There are two methods to import a list of members into a group

• Copy/Paste
  • This is a text box that will accept a list of Internet IDs. The list can be one per line, or comma separated.
• Import a File
  • This allows you to upload a file. When selected, the page displays examples of properly formatted files.

Either method will add the members to the group. 

There are two additional options:

• Replace Existing Members
  • This option will remove all current direct members and add the members found in the list. 
• Remove Members
  • This option will search the file or list and remove any direct members it finds.

These options will only affect direct members. An indirect member is one that is a member of a different group that has been made a member.
