I sent a PR for this:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/4839](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/4839)

I replaced success page with a success alert which informs total users added to group.

I spent considerable time on this feature today trying to squeeze the information you asked for, but I realized that it’s not possible without impacting performance.

Initially I thought it will be possible because I have worked on bulk invite feature where we do provide detailed error log via PM. It’s not possible here though because instead of looping through each username/email we simply use [IN condition](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/7a9eee1b71cf298210ee9a258e9f17ae1a8a9af7/app/controllers/admin/groups_controller.rb#L29) to find out the IDs of users you are trying to add to group. So invalid username/email gets ignored, not resulting in further error. Changing this code to loop through each username/emails will result in significant performance hit when bulk adding thousands of users to a group.

I will discuss this further with @eviltrout to see if there is a possibility to add detailed error log here without significant performance hit.
