Create a distribution group if you need to add a large amount of users to:
  • Use Email with Citrix to share or request files
  • Add a group of users with the same permissions to a folder
  • Initiate a workflow, etc.
1. In the left menu go to the People section > Distribution Groups.
2. Click New Group.

3. Provide the Group Name.

4. Click Add Users. Begin to type a name or email address to search from all users already in the system, create a new user, or click on the address book icon to search from a select group of users.
