Example: Add members to groups

This example adds members to specific groups within the organization. This is useful if you want new members to immediately access relevant information in the portal when they first join the organization.

You're required to specify the following information when running the script:

• URL used to access Portal for ArcGIS. This can be the ArcGIS Web Adaptor URL, for example, https://webadaptor.domain.com/arcgis or the URL of the machine hosting the portal, for example, https://portal.domain.com:7443/arcgis. You must include the fully-qualified domain name of the machine when specifying the URL.
• Username and password of an account that has administrative privileges to the portal.
• Keyword that queries group names and determines which groups members will be added to, for example, operations.
• Comma-separated list of member user names that will be added to groups specified by the keyword query.

The following example adds four members to groups matching the keyword operations:

python addUsersToGroups.py https://webadaptor.domain.com/arcgis admin pass.word operations sarah,robert,james,qing

#!/usr/bin/env python
# Requires Python 2.7+

# Sample Usage:
# python addUsersToGroups.py <portal> <username> <password>
#                            <groupSearchString> <users>
# <users> should be entered as a comma separated string
