Office Chat enables you to add/invite users to your Office Chat Domain in the following ways:

• Invite multiple users by providing their email addresses
• Invite multiple users by importing user details from a CSV file
• Invite/Sync users by connecting Office Chat with your company Active Directory / LDAP ( for enterprise plan only). (Tip: How to Configure LDAP / Active Directory Authentication in Office Chat?)
• Add users using Login ID for those who do not have an Email Id

If you are a network administrator of your Office Chat domain you should see the “Admin” button at the right top next to the Conversations icon; Kindly refer screenshot here:

In-case you are not the domain Admin, you would not see the “Admin” button as shown above.

From OC 2.4 release (released Aug 1st, 2017), all your users would start to see a new group called “Admin Announcements”. Your company’s domain admin would be automatically assigned  the group creator rights  and would have full admin privileges of this group. This group will automatically include all active users in your company and you’ll see a indicator  “new!” against the group name.

This group is designed to share important announcements and news by the domain admin. This group has no reply back capability so there is no distraction and noise caused with everyone replying back in a group chat. If for some reason you don’t need this group, the domain admin can delete it at any time from the admin portal.
