- Select Groups found on the left hand menu.
- Select Add Group in the drp down menu.
- Set the Group name, Group description, and apply desired Group Managers.
- Select Continue to set the folder permissions for the group.
- Select Continue to Set Members.
- Check the boxes for desired members, and press Submit to store changes.
Please Note:
- For a large number of users, Groups can also be created with the Group Bulk Upload form.
