  6. Either select from suggestions, or finish typing the address. When you hit Enter, the user will be added to the group (you can also click the 'Add' button). 
  7. If the email address does not match a user, a 'User not added' message will be returned. 
  8. Repeat for remaining users to be added. 
  9. If you make a mistake, remove the user with the Delete option.
