Purchased and installed the MS SQL version WWF and like it so far. I have one question that I can't seem to find an answer for. How do I add users to groups? For example, I want to add the IT staff to the Admin Group and Task Force members to a Task Force Group I created. BTW, I am using Windows Authentication and I have to keep it that way so I don't have to manually create 2000 accounts.
Thanks.
Lee

Edit the user's profile and scroll down to the bottom where the Admin functions are. There is a drop down list of the available groups, select the one you want the user to be in. then update the profile. Job done!

MrMellie - thanks for the response, however, I don't see the Admin function at the bottom of the users profile. I do see the Admin function at the bottom of the page when setting up a new user, of course, I don't use that page since I have enabled Windows Authentication. Somehow I am not Admin when viewing the users profile. How do I view the profile as an Admin?

OK, here is what I am doing.
1. browsing to forum/admin.asp and logon as Admin
2. Go to Membership Administration
3. Click on a user I want to change group membership on
4. Click the button at the bottom that says "Edit this members forum settings". Before I click the button, I notice at the top that there is a link to Admin and Hidden Topics along with the other links (Active Topics, Memberlist, etc.).
5. Once I click the button, I am directed to the Member Control Panel Menu and the Admin link above is gone.
I think this is where I am having the problem. If I click Edit Profile, the next page shows the username as my Windows username instead of the user I clicked to edit. How do I logon as Admin without it logging me in as my Windows username?
