How an Admin can add people to groups

Hi,

i am using elgg 1.8.3 version. I am still a little new to elgg and trying to get my head around some of its 'qwerks' :)

I have a private community site setup. As an admin I am trying to setup a hidden group with a preset list of members. I have setup the group ok, but cannot find any way to add a selection of registered users to this group. (Obvisouly as it is hidden from view they wont know it exists, and i only want people invited into the group to know it exisits). 

Can anyone help me with how to manage group memberships, without having to just 'invite friends' which is a bit primitive and time consuming. 
 

Many thanks in advance! regards

Alex
