Add User to SharePoint Group Widget

Add User to SharePoint Group Widget

The Add User To SharePoint Group Widget adds one or more existing SharePoint or Active Directory users to an existing Active Directory group.

NOTE: To update membership to a SharePoint group, a user must be a site collection administrator or the owner of the group. If the option to allow group members to edit group membership is selected in the group properties, any group member may also update the group. If it is possible that the workflow initiator will not have this permission, use the Run As property to run the widget as another user with the required permission.
