In this example we have created a new group called Y7-English and added 3x teachers. - We now want to add all Year 7 students
- Navigate to Users in the left hand menu and start typing Year-7 into the "Search users and groups:" box as screenshot and select the required group that you want to copy all users from
- Once you've selected the group you will see the list of users on the page updates. As screenshot there are 173 users listed in Year-7 group- the page shows 50 users per page. Now tick the All users tickbox which will select All users on the page- then click the 'Select All' button highlighted below which will add all 173 users
