Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 20, 20214 yr I'm trying to rationalise our groups a bit. I have one group – with about nearly 400,000 people and another group with about 5000. I'd like to merge the smaller group into the larger group and then eventually get rid of the smaller group. Has anyone any idea how this can be done please? Thanks
January 20, 20214 yr Go to Members (ACP) and use the advanced search form. Search by the smaller group. Example: then you'll see in the results: Click in the MOVE MEMBERS FOUND and choose the other group. After moving, you can delete the smaller group; it will be empty (no members).
January 20, 20214 yr Author Thank you. I'm doing it now. This is to be working except that it says that the action is queued – so I suppose that I have to wait until it sorts itself out. Thank you very much indeed for this.
January 20, 20214 yr Author Thanks for that – actually I tried to remove another much smaller group and it simply deleted the group

If the group isn't assigned to ANY users as a Primary group (i.e. it's used as a secondary group) then it will not ask which group to move those users to
January 20, 20214 yr Author Ta. On that basis I think that I will stick to using the slow and safe method outlined by @Adriano Fariaabove
