Adding Users to Existing Groups

Using the Management Console, you can add one or more users to an existing Scalix group.

There are two ways to do this:

• Open each user’s account record and add them (through the Members Of tab) to a group.
• Open a specific group’s records and add one or more members through the Members tab.

Adding a single new user to an existing group

To add a single user to a group through their user account:

1. In the toolbar, click the Users button.
2. In the contents pane, select the user you want to add to a group.
3. When the user's options appear in the display pane, click the Member Of tab.
4. Open the pull-down menu in the Filter Groups By Type field and choose All Groups.
5. Click the empty checkbox by the group this user is to become a member of.
6. Click the now-active Save Changes button at the bottom of the display pane.

Adding several new users to an existing group

To use a groups’ display pane tabs to add several new members at a time:

1. In the toolbar, click the Group button.
2. In the contents pane, select the group to which you want to add members.
3. When the group's options appear in the display pane to the right, click the Members tab.
4. Open the Filter by Type menu and choose All Users.
5. When the complete users list appears in this tab, scroll down and click the empty checkbox by each new member to add them to the group. (If you have a large user base, some filtering may be necessary.)
6. Click the now-active Save Changes button at the bottom of the display pane.
