Adding members to groups via CSV

I recall that there was a way to mass-invite people to the site by copying and pasting a CSV.
I want to do the same thing for groups, but instead I have to manually enter one username at a time.

My use case is that I’m trying to separate our discourse members into patients & researchers. On our main site, we track which members are researchers, and they use SSO to log onto discourse. Thus it would be very straighttforward for us to do a nightly copy-and-paste of usernames that should be placed in the Researchers group.

Would it be possible to add this feature?

Yes, there is a howto here on sending batch invites… just follow that. If the email already exists on the site, they will just be granted whatever new group membership that invite specifies.

The problem is that after switching to SSO, the “send invites” button is now gone. I was a huge fan of the bulk invite feature.

I think you would need to write API calls to set the groups on your SSO users.

oh - this script works on existing users too (assuming you have access to the container via docker)

Thank you! Would you mind telling me how to import a csv file into lib/tasks in docker?
After launcher enter app, where should I go?
