Group Guidelines

If you have enabled Create/Add Subgroup(s), your groups will be created based on the Department and GroupName values you provided 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.
  • A Parent Group 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.
