Description

The addUsers operation allows group owners, group managers, and organization administrators to add users directly to a group without requiring the users to accept an invitation. A maximum of 25 users can be added in one request.

The operation may fail to add users to a group if the users do not have the required privileges to join the group, or if they have reached the maximum number of groups they can participate in (a maximum of 512 groups). Users from outside the organization may also fail to be added to a group if the group has met its limit on adding external members.
