how do you add members to a group

uwmstubbs

I created a group and I want to add another member to it as an
admin. It's not clear to me from the docs how to do that. I don't see how to add a member nor how to assign their role. I know
their zotero id. What do I do next? Anyone know?

Go to http://www.zotero.org/groups/ and click Manage Members for whichever group you're managing. You will be able to invite new members and assign roles.

Well that's the part I don't get. Suppose there is a person
personid who has a zotero account with that id. Are you saying that
the only way to add them to a group is to send an invite to personid
and they respond and then that's how they are added? You can't just add people without them accepting an invitation?

adamsmith

that's correct. You cannot add people to a group without them accepting. (which seems pretty standard to me)

What was confusing me was I thought in order to invite people they
already had to be members of zotero. But I see they don't. Never mind.
thanks.

i created a group and tried to invite more people. I sended an invitation to a colleague 2014-01-08 13:22:55 in "Manage members" and she is listet under "member invitations" but she told me that she didn´t get it and neither wasn´t possible to register on zotero. What could be the problem?

I had the same problem. Then I tried to just send the URL link for them to enter and that did not work. This is a problem

@Project_Legacy Genrally better to start a new thread rather. What specifically is the problem you are having?
