Group Guidelines

If Create/Add Subgroup(s) is enabled, groups will be created automatically based on the Department and Group Name values provided in your spreadsheet.

  • Department → Parent User Groups
  • Group Name → Subgroups

A Parent User Group can contain either:

  • a flat list of users, or
  • a list of Subgroups (each containing users)

It cannot contain both users and Subgroups at the same level. Therefore, it’s essential to ensure your spreadsheet follows the correct structure; otherwise, users may not be added to groups as intended.
