We've discussed the bulk download of group memberships a bit in Wellington. Using a bulk option can quickly result in performance decreases as whichever way we look at it, downloading members in bulk even for a subset can be a lot of people in the subset. So, we'll go with the alternative approach to put a "Download group membership" button next to the settings one for each group.
That way, admins can target each group easily without having to delete people from groups they didn't want to download. Administrators who perform a lot of bulk membership actions can / should keep their CSV files to make any changes down the track instead of downloading it from Mahara directly every time. Putting the button in does not prevent us from extending that functionality at a later stage to look into ways for bulk options once we know more if people do need that or whether the single group membership download button is sufficient. ** Attachment added: "group_member_download.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1595028/+attachment/4689407/+files/group_member_download.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

We have a user spreadsheet at /admin/users/report.php (but you wouldn't need ID number , remote username, last login and probation). We can display up to 500 groups at once. That can be a lot of users in them potentially taking quite a bit of processing power to generate the CSV. If that is not feasible processing-wise, we'll need to think about a different approach. The paginator allows us to display 1, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 500 results. So we don't always have to show 500 groups. This would go for manually created groups as well as CSV-created groups. This will be done as part of other group enhancements for bug #826649.
