Inviting users one at a time to join your site can be
time consuming. To save time you can add existing user groups to the current
site.
This task assumes you are in the Members component of the desired
site.
The process of adding a group involves searching for the group,
assigning a role to the group as a whole, and then adding the group.
Unlike adding users, no invitation is extended to the users in the
selected group; the group is added immediately. The available user roles
are Manager, Collaborator, Contributor, and Consumer.
