Here the situation for several of the groups I run: in order to be
able to join the group, the person must be a member of a particular
organization (which one varies by group, of course) and they are
only in the group as long as they are a member of the organization.
Periodically, due to elections and such, the membership changes
fairly dramatically.
I know I can download the group membership as a spreadsheet, do some
sorting and comparisons, and then add the new ones and drop the old
ones.
What I would like to request is that this be automated because this
sorting and such can get very tedious for large groups. Instead,
what I would like to see is the ability for the group owner or
moderator to upload a CSV (heck, I'd do JSON or even XML) using a
special group function and thenĀ the code automatically goes through
the membership list dropping those not in the CSV and adding those
that are in the CSV and not in the group already.
Best,
Glenn
