Whether upskilling your team for an upcoming project, or levelling-up your Managers for senior positions, you can use the following steps to set things up, quickly...
Adding a new Group:
On the Users > Groups page, select the Add Group button to open the pop-up, where you can begin choosing the members and the Channels they need to follow.
In the Add Group pop-up, you'll always see the following three fields...
Group Name - this has a limit of up to 200 characters.
Channels - ...you want the Group to be assigned to. These will automatically appear as 'padlocked' Channels, on the side panel on their Homepage.
Members - you can add up to 30 members, at a time, manually from here. You'll be prevented from adding further members, until you add your first batch of 30.
Select Add Group to complete this step. You'll be taken to the Group's sub-page, with the full list of Users added from your first batch.
You can bulk-add Users to your new Group, from the sub-page, by selecting the Add Members button to open the pop-up. Download the CSV template to Import a larger number of Users.
You can add Users back on the main Groups page, by clicking the 3-dots menu, for a Group of your choice. Select Add Members, to open the same pop-up.
Note✨: These are some extra points to remember, when adding a Group...
You can only add existing Users to Groups, from here. It is not possible to create and add new Users to your organisation, this way.
Managers will be automatically added to the new Group, they create from this page. They won't be able to remove themselves, if they go to the Group's sub-page - this would require another Manager in the Group, or any Admin, to complete this. That same Manager will still, however, be able to remove other Group members.
