  1. You have to wait for the import to complete before you can assign it to a group. You might see it in the list but until it has the desired number of members it won't apply. ** Note: This is important to remember when adding a user to the group, it won't take effect until Cloud Apps gets the update which could be an hour or so later from what I have seen.
