Distribution Groups FAQs

How many users can I add to a Distribution Group?
- A distribution group can have a maximum of 2000 users.
I added a user to a folder when they already had access through a Distribution Group. What permissions apply?
- The individual user’s access will override that of his/her group. Example: John Doe has Download permissions on a folder due to his membership in the Doe Distribution Group. You add John Doe to the folder manually, and grant him Upload permissions. He will have only Upload permission, even though his Distribution Group membership includes Download permission.
How do I generate a Group Membership list?
- To generate a membership list for your review:
  1. Go to People > Manage Users or Distribution Groups.
  2. Select the group name to open it.
  3. Hover over the More Options (ellipsis) icon.
  4. Choose Export Group List.
Once the list is generated, a spreadsheet is downloaded to your local computer.
How do I generate a Folder Access report?
- A Folder Access report shows which folders and permissions the Distribution Group has access to.
To generate a folder access report for your review:
1. Go to People > Manage Users or Distribution Groups.
2. Select the group name to open it.
3. Hover over the More Options (ellipsis) icon.
4. Choose Folder Access.
Once the report is generated, a spreadsheet is downloaded to your local computer.
