For our running club, I’m coordinating a year-long challenge that has a team component. For each 10-year age-group team, I’m creating a Discourse group so they can be @mentioned and potentially have their own conversations, though I very much doubt anyone will figure that out. So I have seven groups…

I keep being confused by references Bulk Add to Group, since it doesn’t appear in the UI as far as I can tell—the screenshots from the 2015 topic you linked to don’t match with what I see now. Is it just the same as using the Add Members dialog within a group? And how can I copy a list of members o…

There are quite a few references to the “bulk add to group” feature here on Meta, but I don’t see it active anymore at https://discourse.example.org/admin/groups/bulk, just a blank page (I checked a couple different sites where I have admin rights). Do you see anything there @adamengst ?

Sorry for the delay—missed the notification. No, I don’t have a page at https://forum.fingerlakesrunners.org/admin/groups/bulk at all (404), and the main groups page is at FLRC Forum No mention of Bulk Add anywhere that I can find.

I guess this is a bit of a hidden feature, but you can use the bulk invite feature to add existing users to groups. Just prep a csv with the email address and group as explained in the modal, and upload it. The users will not be emailed. [Screen Shot 2021-03-16 at 9.29.57 AM]

@tobiaseigen Aha! Do you happen to know if that would handle group updates for existing users if the email address in question already has an account?

Yes. That is precisely what I mean by this: [image] tobiaseigen: you can use the bulk invite feature to add existing users to groups This feature seems to be doing double duty and we can improve the UI. I will propose something.

Awesome, thanks! Off to LibreOffice Calc I go! :keyboard:

Thanks! That’s getting closer, although I’ll note that keying off email address often works poorly for me because lots of people have multiple addresses, so I have to verify ahead of time whether I’m inviting the one that’s associated with an account or another one that will be confusing (and potent…

You could always do a user export and then use the exported CSV to create a new list to import back using the bulk invite feature. Sounds like you just need to do this once to get the system set up with your existing users, then manually when new people join or make a change to their age bracket. M…

Good point on the user export—I wasn’t thinking about that as a way to populate the list with accounts to start. I’ll keep noodling on this and see how it works out.
