I almost think this is a bug instead of a new feature. It makes sense to create groups and add a subset of users to a group. There are several problems with user/group/role management in Jira that need to be hammered out.
If there was the ability to add groups to all users in another group then it would be very easy to add a new group and then delete the old group. This would cause a large reindex but group changing always will.
 I'm linking these issue because you can search for Users in a group in the Issue Navigator.
If it were possible to put a set of users in a group easily it would make group searching more powerful. I think the interface to do this should similiar to how a user is added to groups.
In the Group view (this does realy exist yet, it's users filtered by group) there should be an operation available, "Add users to this Group" this takes you to a page with two list boxes. Left-hand box with button labelled "Add" contains all users not in the group. Right-hand box with "Remove" contains users in the group. I've just spent one hour manually adding 70 users to a new group... I agree this is required. Now, I've just realized that the group is misnamed! Arg! There's no way to rename it!
This is important for large scale projects using JIRA. +1
I definitely agree... Couldn't agree more. This would be a great feature.
I'm currently creating three new groups on the system, and need to add MANY suers to each group. It's getting a bit tedious to have to do this user by user. While not denying that this is certainly something that needs fixing, I should mention that you can bulk-add users to groups by writing a Jelly script, eg:
<JiraJelly xmlns:jira="jelly:com.atlassian.jira.jelly.JiraTagLib"> I just think it over and realized that's a generous issue. The logic of assigning one ore more things to one ore more entries is quite unconfortable in the whole admin.
Eg:
I think this would be nice to review these kind of usability everywhere in admin and improve it genereously. I know it's quite a big modification and it's not a new feature which can listed in marketing brochures. But the it's quite a bad experiense to click so much when managing a complex scenario. (I'm doing setup since a few days and quite far to be done) yes this has been fixed in 3.5.
