How to add email-based users

To add email-based users, you first need to navigate to User Management > Users from the left-hand menu pane on the Admin home page.

  • You will now be presented with the 'Manage Users' table.
  • On the left-hand side, you will see 2 options for user creation:
    • User (single)
    • Bulk Upload (multiple)

Group Guidelines

If you have enabled Create/Add Subgroup(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 Subgroups. 

A Parent User Group can either contain a flat list of users, or a list of Subgroups that each contain users. It cannot contain both users and Subgroups 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.
