Adds a JumpCloud user to a JumpCloud User Group.

Add-JCUserGroupMember [-GroupName] <String> [-Username] <String>
 [<CommonParameters>]

Add-JCUserGroupMember [[-GroupName] <String>] [-ByID] [-GroupID <String>] -UserID <String>
 [<CommonParameters>]

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.

PS C:\> Add-JCUserGroupMember -Username cclemons -GroupName 'The Band'

Adds the JumpCloud user with Username 'cclemons' to the User Group 'The Band'

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'

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'

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.

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.

Type: System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: ByID
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

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'

Type: System.String
Parameter Sets: ByID
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

The name of the JumpCloud User Group that you want to add the User to.

Type: System.String
Parameter Sets: ByName
Aliases: name

Required: True
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

Type: System.String

Aliases: name

Required: False
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

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.

Type: System.String
Parameter Sets: ByID
Aliases: _id, id

Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
