What are people’s thoughts on adding the ability to bulk add users to a Group based on membership of another group?
Use case is like, “I’m setting up a new project, but it’s not for everyone to see, so I want to add all the Developers and all the Marketers”. I don’t currently see a simple way to do this (though I may be missing something).
I’m thinking something that looks like this
Thoughts?

You can just add both of the groups in the category security…

Sure, I was thinking more along the lines of being able to compose groups from other groups giving it a more descriptive name.
