Add users to group in GitLab

Question

I am filled with chagrin having to ask this, but I can't figure out how to add users in GitLab. I get to the screen where it allows me to add new members as follows:

From my Group page -> click the 'members' icon on the toolbar along the left edge -> click 'Add Members' expando button -> enter username in 'Find existing member by name' or 'People' fields and get no results.

The 'People' field auto-populates with a bunch of names I don't recognize. But won't let me find a user who has registered by username or actual name. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

What version? These instructions are for gitlab community edition on ubuntu; the deb was named gitlab_7.4.3-omnibus.5.1.0.ci-1_amd64:

1. Login
2. Click the gears icon (top right) to enter the Admin area
3. Click the Groups link (top center) to enter the Groups page
4. Click the name of the group you wish to extend ("Mygroup")
5. Look at the right side of the screen; if you have the right privs you should see "Add user(s) to the group:"
6. Type the first few letters of the user name into the box, a drop-down should appear so you can select the user.
