# Add-JCUserGroupMember ## SYNOPSIS Adds a JumpCloud user to a JumpCloud User Group. ## SYNTAX ### ByName (Default) ``` Add-JCUserGroupMember [-GroupName] [-Username] [] ``` ### ByID ``` Add-JCUserGroupMember [[-GroupName] ] [-ByID] [-GroupID ] -UserID [] ``` ## DESCRIPTION The Add-JCUserGroupMember function is used to add a JumpCloud user to a JumpCloud User Group. The new user can be added by Username or by UserID. ## EXAMPLES ### Example 1 ```powershell PS C:\> Add-JCUserGroupMember -Username cclemons -GroupName 'The Band' ``` Adds the JumpCloud user with Username 'cclemons' to the User Group 'The Band' ### Example 2 ```powershell PS C:\> Get-JCUser | Where-Object sudo -EQ $true | Add-JCUserGroupMember -GroupName 'Administrators' ``` Adds all JumpCloud users where the 'sudo' attribute is equal to $true to the User Group 'Administrators' ### Example 3 ```powershell PS C:\> Get-JCUser | Where-Object created -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) | Add-JCUserGroupMember -GroupName 'New Hires' ``` Adds all JumpCloud users created within the last 7 days to the User Group 'New Hires' ### Example 4 ```powershell Get-JCUser | Select-Object username, @{name='Attribute Value'; expression={$_.attributes.value}} | Where-Object 'Attribute Value' -Like *Sales* | Add-JCUserGroupMember -GroupName Sales ``` Adds all JumpCloud users with a custom attribute value which contains 'Sales' to the JumpCloud User Group 'Sales'. Note that to access the value of a nested property you must use Select-Object to access the nested property. In this example a calculated property is also used. ## PARAMETERS ### -ByID Use the -ByID parameter when either the UserID or GroupID is being passed over the pipeline to the Add-JCUserGroupMember function. The -ByID SwitchParameter will set the ParameterSet to 'ByID' which will increase the function speed and performance. ```yaml Type: System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter Parameter Sets: ByID Aliases: Required: False Position: Named Default value: None Accept pipeline input: False Accept wildcard characters: False ``` ### -GroupID The GroupID is used in the ParameterSet 'ByID'. The GroupID for a User Group can be found by running the command: PS C:\\\> Get-JCGroup -type 'User' ```yaml Type: System.String Parameter Sets: ByID Aliases: Required: False Position: Named Default value: None Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName) Accept wildcard characters: False ``` ### -GroupName The name of the JumpCloud User Group that you want to add the User to. ```yaml Type: System.String Parameter Sets: ByName Aliases: name Required: True Position: 0 Default value: None Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName) Accept wildcard characters: False ``` ```yaml Type: System.String Parameter Sets: ByID Aliases: name Required: False Position: 0 Default value: None Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName) Accept wildcard characters: False ``` ### -UserID The _id of the User which you want to add to the User Group. To find a JumpCloud UserID run the command: PS C:\\\> Get-JCUser | Select username, _id The UserID will be the 24 character string populated for the _id field. UserID has an Alias of _id. This means you can leverage the PowerShell pipeline to populate this field automatically using the Get-JCUser function before calling Add-JCUserGroupMember. This is shown in EXAMPLES 2, 3, and 4. ```yaml Type: System.String Parameter Sets: ByID Aliases: _id, id Required: True Position: Named Default value: None Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName) Accept wildcard characters: False ``` ### -Username The Username of the JumpCloud user you wish to add to the User Group. ```yaml Type: System.String Parameter Sets: ByName Aliases: Required: True Position: 1 Default value: None Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName) Accept wildcard characters: False ``` ### CommonParameters This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable.
