Adding users to a group
If your group is not publicly visible, you will need to invite or add users to it. If your group is publicly visible, you can still do this.

When you are finished configuring your link, make sure to click the “Save Invite” button.
When they click the link, they will see a page that looks like this if they are not already a user:

Clicking the “Add Users” button on the right side of the screen will display this popup:
...
You can then search for their username in the box and click the blue “Add” button at the bottom. This will add them to your group.
