Managing Users and Groups

You can copy or clone a group of users by using the following steps:
1. Go to the Manage Groups section in Smartsheet. Open the group you want to duplicate.
2. Select “View Group,” then highlight all the group members (names and email addresses). Copy them (e.g. Ctrl+C).
3. Paste that into a text editor. (Heads up: this raw list isn’t ready to go back into Smartsheet yet.)
4. Use a tool (even an AI-powered one if you have it) to extract just the email addresses and clean up the list.
5. Back in Smartsheet, open the group you want to populate. Use the “Add Members” option, then paste in those cleaned email addresses. Save.
If your group has more than 1000 members, you’ll need to repeat the copy-paste in batches.
Doing this saves so much time and manual retyping when you’ve got large user groups. It also helps maintain consistency of names and permissions and, without a ‘duplicate group’ button, it’s the best way to tackle this task.
