What’s changing 
We’re introducing a new app for Google Chat called Bulk Member Manager that enables space managers and space members, who have permission to manage members, to easily add or remove members to or from a space in bulk. 

In addition to the new membership search feature and the ability to add up to 50,000 members to spaces in Google Chat, this update will help you better organize people, topics, and projects to help ensure effective conversations take place in spaces.
Easily add or remove groups of members to a space in Google Chat
Getting started 
  • Admins: Admins can enable or disable users from adding Chat apps to their spaces by going to the Admin console > Apps > Google Chat > Chat apps access settings. Visit the Help Center to learn more about optimizing Chat spaces for your organization. 
  • End users: 
    • All space managers can add members using the Bulk Member Manager app. A space manager can grant permission for a space member to add other members by going to the space menu > Space settings > Access > selecting the All members option under Who can manage members and groups. If this is granted, a space member can use the Bulk Member Manager app to add members. 
    • To use Bulk Member Manager, open the space that you want to add or remove members to/from > add the app to the space > type one of the following slash commands: 
      • “/addDialog” to add members by copy/pasting email addresses. The app will guide you through the process of adding members. 
      • “/removeDialog” to remove members by copy/pasting email addresses. The app will guide you through the process of removing members. 
      • “/addCsv” (with a .csv attachment) to add members. 
      • “/removeCsv” (with a .csv attachment) to remove members 
    • Visit the Help Center to learn more about using the Bulk Member Manager app.
