PowerShell script to add users to SharePoint group by login

Not so long ago I had to add 2 hundred users to SharePoint group. First I wanted to add them partially, but I understood that to do it via PowerShell is faster.

Below I write down a PowerShell script to add users to SharePoint group by login. It will decrease the time to complete the same task next time.

#Script to add users to SharePoint group by login name 
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue   
cls 
$web = get-spweb "https://spdev/mySite" 
$group = $web.SiteGroups["my Group Name"] 

$users = ('domain\user1', 'domain\user2', 'domain\user3', 'domain\user4', 'domain\user5') 

foreach($user in $users)  { 
    $myuser = $web.EnsureUser($user) 
    Write-Host $myuser 
    $group.AddUser($myuser) 
    }

#Script to add users to SharePoint group by login name

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue

cls

$web = get-spweb "https://spdev/mySite"

$group = $web.SiteGroups["my Group Name"]

$users = ('domain\user1', 'domain\user2', 'domain\user3', 'domain\user4', 'domain\user5')

foreach($user in $users) {

$myuser = $web.EnsureUser($user)

Write-Host $myuser

$group.AddUser($myuser)

}
