D. How to add people to permission groups
To add people to the different user groups, the logged-in user must be in the Owner group. Add one or more users to a user group like this:
Click the gear at the top left
Select “Site settings”
Select «People and groups»
Expand the "Groups" menu on the left and click "More ..."
Click on the name of the user group to add a person
Click "New - Add users, Add users to this group"
Enter the name of the user(s) and select them from dropdown
We recommend not writing any message in the text field, unless you want to give a specific message to the user.
To prevent an email notification from being sent to the user, click "Show Options" and uncheck "Send an email invitation" (for example, if you add a user to an administrative group). Keep the tick that is the first time the user stays if it is to the system. Instruct first-time users that they must access the system for the first time through the link in the email sent out by the system when they click "share".
