Also, to save and have it appear in the group menu on the left, you have to add at least one user to the new group: * On the **Members** tab, select the users (under **Users**) you would like to include in your new group :bulb: You can filter by groups with the drop-down menu or search users in the mini search bar. * The **Add selected** button at the bottom becomes active * Click **Add selected,** and the selected users will be transferred under **Current Members**.
