Manually assign members to groups

  2. Select the group you want to assign users to.
  3. Go to Group members > Users.
  4. To assign users:
    a. Select Add users.
    b. Start typing the name of a user into the search field.

Edit dynamic group rules

Adjust dynamic group rules to accommodate new devices, locations, or school years.

Editing existing rules may remove devices or users who were previously members of the group. Edits may cause them to experience a change in permissions or access.

  1. Go to Groups.
  2. Find the group you want to edit. Don't select the group, but go to its menu (...), and then select Edit group rules.
  3. Edit the rules.

Move a group

Move a group up or down within your existing group list. If you distribute settings differently throughout your group list, moving a group higher or lower on the list changes its scope of settings.

  1. Go to Groups and find the group you want to move.
  2. Don't select the group, but go to its menu (...), and then select Move group.
  3. Search for the location where you want to move the group.
