    This was super timely for us. With the 20.3 release of more sub-groups per group, we're looking to re-organize some of our groups. Plus we have a couple other teams that are interesting in joining our instance. Even though they really have nothing to do with our group, we're excited to slowly take over the world this way! LOL

    I do have a couple questions

    • Can existing groups be converted to a sub-group of another group. That seems like it would save a ton of time in our re-organization
    • Is there any way for group-admins to do Kick-Starts? In looking to reduce our overall number of admins and create more group admins we have one that could absolutely be a group admin, but needs to be able to upload Kick-Starts from a template I created.

    Heather, it's great that you're going to utilize the extended group hierarchy to re-organize your groups!

    Currently you can move existing groups and make them subgroups by editing the destination group and typing the subgroup name in the members field. We're aware that this is not an intuitive experience and are planning to improve this process soon.

    Thank you!

    Thank you @Lilit Mkrtchyan‚ that will save me so much time! I was afraid I was going to have to re-create these groups as sub-groups and re-share all the reports and things that had been shared with them.

    One quesion though... I see when I go to move a group under another group, I get a message that says "If you add 'this group' as a sub-group it will lost its primary settings" -- what are those primary settings that will be lost. I have a couple groups that have custom statuses specific to that group. Will those custom statuses be lost if these groups become a sub-group under another group?

    Also a bit of feedback... I've been using the New Experience for quite awhile, but had to switch back to Classic to move a group into another group. When I tried in the New Experience, nothing came up when I started typing the group name of the group I wanted to move.

    Also, the main group list is much easier to look at in Classic, any groups that have sub-groups are bolded, making them easier to pick out of the list.
