Bulk import to a permissions group
Is there a way of doing a bulk import of users to a group? For example if I create a new group with curtain permissions and want to import a large number of people that are existing users on Smartsheet into that group can this be done? That also goes for bulk importing new users directly into a group instead of doing a bulk import from an CSV file into the standard user list and then having to manually add the users to the groups I would like them in?
As an F.Y.I - i am currently on a Business plan not Enterprise.
Any advice would be much appreciated
Thanks
Paul

Hello @Paul Jenkins ,
I apologize for the delayed response & misunderstanding. At this time, Bulk Adding users to groups via the Admin Center is currently not supported. Please submit an enhancement request to be considered for future development.
In the meantime, upon testing this - an alternate solution for this would be to do the following:
- Access the Admin Center: https://admin.smartsheet.com/
- Go to User Management then More Actions & Click on User List
- This will generate an excel file that has all the existing users in your Smartsheet organization
- From there, you may copy all the email addresses in the "Email" column in the excel file.
- Once you have that copied, you create a group & under "Add Members", paste all the email addresses in that field to perform a "bulk import."
I found a similar scenario from another user in the community: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/comment/255516#Comment_255516
You may also look into submitting a support ticket for further assistance: Smartsheet Support

Hope this helps!
Cheers,
