Hi GitHub.com Organizations/UI team,

I face a common user pattern where I want to add several organization users to a team at once -- e.g. if I'm creating a new team, or onboarding multiple people. Currently the process is completely manual and requires at least 3-4 clicks per user ("Add a member", type their username, "Add", "Confirm", rinse & repeat. See https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/organizing-members-into-teams/adding-organization-members-to-a-team). This is not productive for teams of more than a few members!

Ideally the UI for would allow us to add multiple users to a team in the same modal box by using something like comma-separated usernames.

Currently the only workaround is to directly call the GitHub API, as explained in this blog post:
"GitHub: Script to Mass Add Users to a Team": https://josh-ops.com/posts/github-script-to-add-users-to-teams/

Thanks for your consideration!

Script is not working as expected - invalid API endpoint: "C:/Program Files/Git/orgs/xxx/teams/yyy/memberships/xxx". Your shell might be rewriting URL paths as filesystem paths. To avoid this, omit the leading slash from the endpoint argument

Should it be any use, here's how I just solved this using PowerShell & GitHub's CLI:

# set these variables per your needs
$org  = 'yourGhOrg'
$team = 'yourTeam'

# set members to an array of strings holding the usernames of users to add...

	<# Use this to manually list specific members:
	$members = @'
	user1
	user2
	user3
	'@ -split '[\r\n\s]+' | ?{$_}
	#>

	# or use this if you want all members of your org
	$members = gh api "orgs/$org/members" --paginate --jq '.[].login'

# finally this loops through all members, adding them to your team
foreach ($member in $members) {
	gh api --method PUT "orgs/$org/teams/$team/memberships/$member"
}
