Typically there are two scenarios where you may want to add users to groups manually. These are:

1. The group was created automatically by your MIS sync and you need to add a user that isn’t in your MIS.

2. You have manually created a group in realsmart that isn’t in your MIS and you want to add users.

You can do both scenarios by carrying out the following:

1. Sign into smartadmin https://provision.realsmart.co.uk

2. Click ‘Groups’ in the left-hand side menu

3. Search for the group

4. Click ‘Edit group’

5. Type the user's name (or a group name) into the ‘Group Memberships’ Search box. The names auto-complete

6. Select the user from the auto-complete list- this adds the use user and locks their group membership- So the next MIS sync doesnt remove the new group member

7. The padlock should be in the locked position next to the new user, if it is not, click the padlock into the locked position

8. The page saves automatically as you add more users.
