Add Accounts to Group
When you need to grant user accounts access to group-based resources, you can add these accounts to existing Groups. This gives them immediate access to all resources and systems that the group provides access to.
Access Requirements: You must have appropriate permissions to manage the specific groups you want to modify.
Use this workflow when adding user accounts that need group-based access, managing account memberships for users who require the same access as existing group members, or granting users access through their account associations.
Before You Start
Make sure you have:
- Knowledge of which accounts need to be added to which groups
- Understanding of what access and resources each group provides
- Confirmation that the accounts should receive all group-based access
Get Started
- Navigate to the Resource Admin portal
- Select Groups from the resource type menu
- Click the Workflows tab
- Find and click Manage Group Wizard

- Search for the Group(s) you want to add accounts to, then check the box next to each group and click Next
You can select multiple groups if you want to add the same accounts to several groups at once. - Select Add Accounts to Group from the available actions

- Click Next to proceed to the account selection interface
Add Accounts to the Groups

What Happens Next
- Added user accounts immediately gain access to all resources and systems associated with the selected group(s).

- Account holders will have the same access levels as other group members.
- Group membership changes may trigger notifications to group owners or administrators.
If You Run Into Problems
Can't find the account you want to add: Verify the account exists in the system and is active. Check spelling and try searching by account ID or different name variations.
Account appears to be added but doesn't get access: Group membership changes are immediate, but some systems may require services to restart or refresh to see new access.
Added too many accounts by mistake: Use the Remove Accounts from Group workflow to remove accounts that shouldn't have group access.
