Full Version: admin must become Group Leader to add first member
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello,

I am perhaps misunderstanding something and missing the obvious, but the steps for starting up a new Group seem awkward.

Problem:
Admin creates a new Group and sets X User as the Leader.
Because in the UserCP X User cannot see the [view members] until he is a member of the Group.
Admin must first add Admin as a second Group Leader and then Admin must go to the UserCP for Admin and then [view members] and add X User as a Group member.
The Admin must return to the AdminCP and remove themselves as Group Leader.

Is there some other way of getting the Group leader into (a member of) a Group?

Thanks for any insight or clarification - I did search around before asking.
Can you not just add them to the new usergroup in the ACP and then make them leader.....?? Undecided
Thanks MattR.

I got stuck on this step before and just can't seem to get it to stick in my head. When I am working with a Group I expected the "add member" type feature to be with the other Group management features either in the UserCP or the AdminCP. I keep forgetting about that these steps are under the Users.

Thanks for setting me straight.
