Quick jump to adding individuals - adding groups - removing members
Adding Individuals
If you know the user's NetID
- Log into the Manifest service at https://manifest.services.wisc.edu.
- Under the Groups I Manage or Groups I Administer tabs click 'Details' to the right of the group you want to add members to.
- Click the Members tab. A list of the current members as well as a + Add Members button will be on the right. Click this button.
- Enter in NetIDs separated by commas or on new lines. When finished adding members click + Add
Individuals. Any invalid NetIDs must be fixed before the button will work.
- Note: This tool has a maximum of 1000 NetIDs that can be added at a time. Please contact mstsupport@doit.wisc.edu for assistance with larger requests.
- Click on Save. Note that the new members are now listed.
If you do not know the user's NetID
- If you don't know someone's NetID you can send an invite by email. Directions can be found here: Manifest - Send Email Invitations
- If you wish to add a person who doesn't currently have a NetID then you need to go through additional steps that can be found here: Manifest - Using a Manifest Group to Invite People to Create Identities (NetIDs)
Adding Groups
- Log into the Manifest service at https://manifest.services.wisc.edu.
- Under the Groups I Manage or Groups I Administer tabs click 'Details' to the right of the group you want to add members to.
- Click the Members tab. A list of the current members as well as a + Add
Members button will be on the right. Click this button.
NOTE:If your group has the capability to invite people who do not have NetIDs through invitations, you will not be able to add another group as a member.
- In the Add group member field begin typing the Group ID Path of the group you wish to add. Manifest will query for the group as you type and you can click on it when it pops up below the search field.
NOTE: if you know a group exists (eg, you've been given a Group Path from someone else) and it doesn't appear, the likely reason is that you don't have at least VIEW permission to the group. The owner of the group will need to give you permissions before you can add it, or they'll need to disable the "Hide this group from search results" option for the group; see: Manifest - Manage Group Privileges
- Once the group is listed in the Members to Add field click on Save. Note that the new members are now listed.
Removing Members
- Log into the Manifest service at https://manifest.services.wisc.edu.
- Under the Groups I Manage or Groups I Administer tabs click 'Details' to the right of the group you want to remove members from.
- Click the Members tab. A list of the current members will show.
- Check the box to the left of the Name field for any members you would like to completely remove.
