Add Users to SharePoint Groups is a ControlPoint action that enables you to add one or more users to existing SharePoint groups.
To add users to SharePoint groups:
1Select the object(s) for which you want to add users to groups.
2Choose Users and Security > Add User to SharePoint Group.
3Select the SharePoint group(s) to which you want to add users as follows:
a)From the Available Items list, select the group(s) to which you want users and move them to the Selected Items list.
Note that all groups defined for the entire site collection display beneath the root site. Groups with unique permissions also display beneath the site granting those permissions. By default, groups will display in this list if they have been assigned at least one permissions level. ControlPoint Application Administrators can, however, configure ControlPoint to display groups that do not have an associated permissions level. Details can be found in the ControlPoint Administration Guide.
b)When you have finished adding groups to the Selected Items list, click [Apply].
4In the Parameters section Choose User(s) field, select the user(s) that you want to add to the group(s).
5If you want to remove any user direct permissions from objects for which the selected group has permissions, check the Remove matching direct permissions box.
NOTE: Direct permissions for any objects within the scope of the action for which the selected SharePoint group does not have permissions will be retained.
Now you can:
·run the operation immediately (by clicking the [Run Now] button)
OR
·schedule the operation to run at a later time or on a recurring basis.
OR
·save the operation as XML Instructions that can be run at a later time.
If you chose the Run Now, option, after the operation has been processed:
·a confirmation message displays at the top of the page, and
·a ControlPoint Task Audit is generated for the operation and displays in the Results section.
If you schedule the operation, a link to the Task Audit is included in the scheduled action notification email.
