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 \u201cView Group,\u201d 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\u2019t 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 \u201cAdd Members\u201d option, then paste in those cleaned email addresses. Save.
If your group has more than 1000 members, you\u2019ll need to repeat the copy-paste in batches.
Doing this saves so much time and manual retyping when you\u2019ve got large user groups. It also helps maintain consistency of names and permissions and, without a \u2018duplicate group\u2019 button, it\u2019s the best way to tackle this task.
