Add Group Member Automation

Learn how to automatically add users to groups based on customizable conditions

What is Group Member Automation?

Group member automation allows content managers to create conditions in which users will be automatically added or removed from a group. Content managers can mix and match any number of conditions to define the criteria for belonging to a group. 

Ex. Completed course: Onboarding Training 

Ex. Interests include: Management 

Customers with SSO enabled will be able to add conditions based on the SAML Attributes that can be found in the user's profile. The attributes available will be different for every company but may include information such as users' job role or region. 

Managed Groups (membership is determined by SSO) and users who are added or removed from a group manually will be not affected by automated conditions. Click Here to learn more about managing and adding group members.
