How Do I Bulk Upload Members to Community Group?

Hey Justin,

It was used and abandoned. Members did not take it kindly that they were made members of a group that they had not chosen themselves. There could be a technical reason for making people members of a group. We have better experiences with (system) role-based access: Automations that add people to a role or remove them from a role.

It was replaced by Bulk Invite ultimately. Also not standard but more friendly to the people who are invited.

Also reporting wise, there is no real indicator of actual group health.
If you want, I can tell a bit more about it.

Hi Justin Lee 

I saw your comment about wanting to hear more about the bulk upload process. We actually have a solution for that - the User Bulk Uploader tool, which is designed to make bulk uploading users and adding them to groups super easy. It’s a huge time-saver for communities that need to manage large numbers of users.

You can check it out here: User Bulk Uploader.

If you’d like more details or have any specific questions, just let me know—I’d be happy to help!

Hi Wilfried, 

I agree. We also use our community to support training courses where onboarding cohorts of new members wouldn't be objectionable. With that said, I think we're probably underutilizing role-based access in our community design and would be eager to hear your experience. 

Thanks Sara. It's on my wish list for our site refresh, as it also appears that it would help us with bulk updating of user email domains.
