Name the group

• Add a group name and description
• In the "AD group name" field, type the name of the AD group you want to use and click Search

Group Permissions

Set permissions to give people ability to view/ use the group and to administer it.  

Add "SCS Admins" to the group Administrators

• Click on the Permissions tab at the top
• Scroll down to the "Administrators" section
• Click the down-arrow under "Select group" and choose SCS Admins - this will give us the ability to help you if a problem arises with the group
• Click Save

If you want to be fancy and give other people (outside of the SCS Advising group) the ability to see and use your WebTools groups, you'll need to create a WebTools group for them, and then assign that group "Viewer" rights.
