How do I add members and owners to an MCommunity group?

Resolution

Note: You must be a group's owner to make updates to the group.

  1. Log in to the MCommunity Directory.
  2. Click My Groups in the top right corner.
  3. Select the appropriate group for which you want to add a member/owner.
  4. Click Add Members above the membership list.
  5. Enter the uniqname of the member/owner you want to add in the U-M Member field.
    • If it's an external email address, enter the full email address in the External Member field.
  6. Check the member and/or owner boxes depending on the role(s) you'd like them to have.
  7. Click Save.

You'll receive a confirmation that the group's membership was updated, or an error message (for duplicates or non-existent uniqnames).

Additional Information

If you need to set your group so that only the group members can see the membership list, click Edit in the Settings section to select that option

ITS-MCommunity Directory
This service is a directory of people and groups at the University of Michigan. All current members of the U-M community have profiles in the MCommunity Directory. This includes faculty, staff, students, retirees, alumni, and sponsored affiliates. Anyone who has a profile in the directory can create groups in the directory. It is an an enterprise directory; it covers the entire university. It is part of a larger identity management system that allows the university to know who is and is not a member of the U-M community so that central offices—as well as departments, schools, colleges, and campuses—can grant and remove access to their online resources as needed and appropriate.
