When will we be able to bulk add users to groups?

Question

Adaxes really needs this i.e. "Here's this list of 20 users can you add them to the Marketing group" - right now you have to do them one at a time which is a real kludge.

I'm assuming it's in the pipeline just wondered if there's any timescale please?

We're on 2013.2 if I'm just not seeing it.

Thanks :)

Hello,

We've discussed this with our team and decided to implement such functionality in Adaxes 2014.1 that will be available by the end of February. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello,

Yesterday, we released Adaxes 2014.1. In this version, we've added the capability to add members to groups in bulk. The Add to Group and Add Members operations are available when browsing Active Directory, in search results, AD reports, Basket, Members and Member Of sections.
