Assigning to Roles - Large Groups

Are you adding members via Administration > Membership > Roles > [select role] > Edit > Add members? If so, the "Select members" box allows multiple inputs so you can search and add many members at once.

Beyond that, where is the need to add these members being generated? is it through an event on Community or via some identifying information that Community tracks? There are possibly ways to accomplish your requirements through Automations - for instance, adding people to a certain role when they join a certain group - but I'd need more details on how the need to add lots of members comes about.

I've been in a similar situation as Jillian and this was the route I took. However, I think that field only accepts 25(?) users at once, and they have to be manually added (you can't import via CSV or something like that). It worked for my use case, but it's still very tedious.

Automation is probably the way to go, but that wasn't in the cards for me.
