Mass assign an existing member to our Team Groups. Possible?
Hi,
Is it possible to use the member import to assign an existing member to existing groups ? We use groups to give access rights and I would like to add an existing member in a lot of groups, if I...
Hey PhilippeColombe, gotcha!
The answer is yes!
After clarifying that you're referring to the .csv option, I can confirm that you can do it that way.
If you have any other questions, let me know!

Dropbox StaffHey there, PhilippeColombe, welcome to our Community!
If you could clarify a bit more about the member import feature, and which one you're referring to, that'd be amazing.
As far as I'm aware, the only way to add a member to a group, would be if you added said member to each individual group.
I'm waiting for your response, and we'll take it from there!
Hi Megan,
Thanks for your answer. My need is to assign an existing member to many groups (say 30) at once. But I understand it's not possible. The only way to assign a member to several groups at once seems to be when inviting A NEW MEMBER to join the team. In my case could it be the solution to delete the member and invite him(her) again afterwards with all the groups assignment I need ?

Hi PhilippeColombe, when you add a new user to the Team, the member is automatically assigned to the "Everyone at (team name)" group, not all of them.
This group is created automatically and includes invited members. If you wish to add them to more groups, you'd need to do it manually.
I hope this clarifies!
Hi Megan,
Not really 😢, according to the member import .csv template there is a field named "Groups" so I understand that when I import a new member with the .csv file I can assign him to the groups mentioned in the dedicated field so I don't have to had the new member manually to each group one by one. Is it right ?
