Group Guidelines

If you have enabled Create/Add Sub-group(s), your groups will be created based on the Department and GroupName values you provide in your spreadsheet.  The Department value you use corresponds to Parent User Groups, and the GroupName value corresponds to Sub Groups. 

A Parent User Group can either contain a flat list of users, or a list of Sub Groups that each contain users.  A Parent Group cannot contain both users and Sub Groups at the same level, so it is important that you ensure your spreadsheet is set up correctly, otherwise users may not be added to groups based on the existing structure.
