Summary

You can add a user, service principal, or group to be the member of a group. If a group is a member of another group, then all the members of the member group are effective members of the parent group. The thing that is added to the group is referred to as an entity, subject, or member. Note: a service principal could be a credential that a web service user uses. It could be a local entity in Grouper or something represented in an institutional subject source.

Privilege requirements

If a UI user has the appropriate privileges on a group, they can add a member to the group.

To add or remove a member from a group, the user needs UPDATE/READ or ADMIN on the group. Note these privileges could be effectively assigned due to the user's role in an application folder or org folder. Sysadmins can manage members in any group.

Find the group

You can find a Group in Grouper in various ways: searching, navigating, favorites, home screen panels, bookmark, etc
