Grouper: Adding or Removing People from Automated Groups

You can make manual adjustments to Grouper groups that you manage.

Creating Manual Exceptions to Automated Groups That You Manage

1. Log into Grouper (link opens in a new tab) - You must be on campus or on the VPN (link opens in a new tab) to access Grouper
2. Select My Groups from the sidebar
3. Under Group Name, look for one of the following to adjust automatic membership
   • GroupName_allow_manual to list people who should be added to an automated group
   • GroupName_deny_manual to list people who should be removed from an automated group
4. Open the allow_manual or deny_manual group and review the group description (text under the group title) and current membership
5. Click the + Add Members button near the group title to add a member to this allow or deny group
6. In the Member name or ID field, search for the person by name, username, or ID number
7. Optional: add a start date and/or end date for temporary exceptions
   Be sure to follow the yyy/mm/dd hh:mi am/pm format exactly

It may take minutes or hours for the changes you made to be reflected in things like changes to Google Groups, departmental folders, or other access permissions.

Requesting Exceptions for Automated Groups that You Do NOT Manage

Only group admins can see who manages the group. Typically, departments or teams designate one or more people to manage group membership for key automated email lists or student worker groups in that department, and that person will be able to make the exceptions you need.

Technician Note: If nobody in the department knows who their group updater(s) are, please assign the ticket to Account Admin - CC for review.
