Due to an offline registration process for an event, I now need to add about 500 users (this is only a small selection of our web users) to a User Group or two. I have been given a CSV of email addresses of everyone's accounts that should be added to those groups.

How should I go about this?

My initial thinking is to put the email addresses into an array and maybe use getIterator or getCollection to grab the User objects?

I can't seem to construct a query that works... Here is what I have tried:

$c = $xpdo->newQuery('modUser');

$c->where(array(
	'email:IN' => array('[email protected]','[email protected]')
));

$userObjs = $xpdo->getIterator('modUser',$c);

foreach($userObjs as $userObj) {
	$userObj->joinGroup('GROUP1');
	$userObj->joinGroup('GROUP2');
}
 
return 'Success.';

The following worked for me. Create a script called add_users_to_group:

$emails = $modx->getOption('emails',$scriptProperties,'');
$group = $modx->getOption('group',$scriptProperties,'');

if ($emails) {
	$email_array = explode('||',$emails);

	$c = $modx->newQuery('modUser');
	$c->select($modx->getSelectColumns('modUser','modUser','',array('id','username')));
	$c->innerJoin('modUserProfile','Profile');
	$c->where(array(
		'Profile.email:IN' => $email_array,
		'modUser.active' => true,
	));
	
	$count = $modx->getCount('modUser',$c);
	$users = $modx->getIterator('modUser',$c);
	
	
	foreach ($users as $user) {
		$user->joinGroup($group);
	}


	return "<p>" . $count . " Users Updated</p>";
}

Then call it using:

[[!add_users_to_group? 
    &emails=`[email protected]||[email protected]`
    &group=`GROUP1`
]]

Very nice solution -- and much faster and more efficient than what I was going to suggest.

Do you mind if I do a blog post on it?

Hi BobRay. Thank you! I don't mind at all... In fact, I based the solution on an answer you gave here and an answer splittingred gave here.
