Adding Members to the Group

Since this scenario will probably involve a large number of users, probably the best way to add members to the Group will be through a query. Your "Paid Subscribers" might be those who contributed at some level to your annual membership campaign. You might run a query that will pick up the Group that contributed at Giving Level I and the Group that contributed at Giving Level II and the Group that contributed at Giving Level III and add the results of the query to the new Subscribers security group. See Work with Query Builder for more information.

If you are using the steps in this scenario to add special access for a smaller group of end-users -- such as Board Members -- then it will probably be easier to populate the group by going into the contact record for each member and assigning each one to the new security group.

Your Progress: You have created and populated a group of subscribers. You have also created some special pages for them. Now you will assign the group permission to see those pages.
