How do I update parent/child group relationships?
There are two ways to update parent/child group relationships: manually or through data import.
To make manual updates (better for a small number of updates):
- From Administration (or Core Administration if the site is suite integrated) go to User Manager > Groups.
- Search for the group.
- Select Actions > Edit.
- Access the Child Groups tab.
- Click Add/Remove.
- Select the boxes for the groups to define as child groups. This list only includes custom groups.
- Click Done, then click Save.
To make updates through import (better for a large number of updates):
- From Administration (or Core Administration) go to Site Manager > Data Import/Export.
- On the Export tab, run the Export Group/User Relationships (or Export Group/Subgroup Relationships) task, and save the files to your computer.
- Update the Group.csv file to include only the groups to update. Make sure to use the UniqueName values for groups, which may differ from the display name.
- Update the GroupChildGroupMap.csv file to add or remove the child groups. All existing child groups already appear in this file.
- Click Import next to the Update Group To Child Group Mapping (or Import Group To Child Group Mapping) task, and select the Update Only operation.
- Browse for the two updated files, and click Run.
