How can I add users to groups in bulk?

[ricksaul]

Hi , can anyone tell me how I can add users to groups in bulk rather than going thru the sac which is slow and cumbersome and not showing all users when fetching lists ??

thanks Rick

This can be done from the commandline by using "omaddpdln". Theres a man-page which also explains thr use of a file to add multiple names to a group is one step.

thanks for this . I have been able to add users to a file called userlist in the format Firstname Secondname and then add the list to a a group called staff and record the changes in changes.log using the below

omaddpdln -l "Staff" -f userlist -R changes.log

thanks for your help
