  5. Run the command below to add users that are provided in the .csv file (all-users.csv, in this example) to a group:

    The parameters used in the above action are:

    • file: Name (or path) of the file specified in the command.

    • common: Common parameter string added to all run actions.
    • autoGroup: Groups are automatically added when referenced in add user functions.
