Add Members

This component allows administrators or group owners to add new members to a specific group. It enables administrators or group owners to extend the membership of a group by adding new users to participate in the group’s discussions and activities. By utilising this feature, administrators can manage group membership, and control access to group content.

The administrator can select the desired users to be added to the group. This can be done by searching for specific users, selecting from a list of available users. The selected users will receive notifications to join the group.
