Automatic group assignment
 
If you know who is going to register on your platform, you can use the function "automatic group assignment". All you need to do is insert the e-mail addresses of the respective person(s) in a list.

You can either insert one e-mail address after the other or upload a list with all e-mail addresses. If you  are expecting a lot of registrations, we recommend to upload one list for each group.

Requirements for an e-mail list
- The list needs to be available as a ".txt" or ".csv" file. Make sure that the file only contains e-mail addresses! You can use ";" or "," as separators in ".txt"-files. ".csv"-files can be created in every spreadsheet programme such as MS Excel or Open Office.


Proceed as follows:


|1| Choose "Groups & Users" from the main menu by clicking on it.

|2| Click on the modify-button in the row "Automatic group assignment".


|3|
The e-mail addresses of future registered users are inserted in the table.

|4|
Click on the red link "upload list of email addresses" on the left side.

|5| Insert the path to your list of e-mail addresses by clicking on the "browse"-button.

|7| Choose to which groups the newly registered users should be assigned.

|8| Click on "Upload file".

|9| Check your settings in the list and make adjustments if necessary.

|10| Save your settings by clicking on "Save changes".

As soon as a person registers on your platform with one of the specified e-mail addresses, he/she will be automatically added to the respective group. Users can start to work on the platform immediately. There will be no more delays caused by manual group assignment.

The e-mail addresses of registered users are displayed in a list below the "Save changes"-button. This way, you can check who has already registered and who hasn't. The automatic group assignment will only work for one registration per e-mail address.
