Log in to Yandex Identity Hub.
In the left-hand panel, select Groups and click the row with the name of the group you need.
Go to the Members tab.
Click Add member.
In the window that opens, select the needed users or service accounts. You may want to use the search feature.
Click Save.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

See the description of the command for adding members to the Identity Hub user group:
```
yc organization-manager group add-members --help
```
To add members to a user group, run this command:
```
yc organization-manager group add-members \
  --name <group_name> \
  --organization-id <organization_ID> \
  --subject-id <member_ID>
```
Where:
- --name: User group name. This is a required parameter.
- --organization-id: Organization ID.
- --subject-id: ID of the member to add to the group.

With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

For more information about the provider resources, see the relevant documentation on the Terraform website or its mirror.

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

In the configuration file, describe the new group members:

resource "yandex_organizationmanager_group_membership" "group-members" {
   group_id = "<group_ID>"
   members  = [
     "<member_1_ID>",
     "<member_2_ID>"
   ]
}

Where:

group_id: ID of the group to add the member to.
members: IDs of the members to add to the group.

Create resources:
1. In the terminal, go to the directory where you edited the configuration file.
2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using this command:
```
terraform validate
```
  If the configuration is correct, you will get this message:
```
Success! The configuration is valid.
```
3. Run this command:
```
terraform plan
```
  You will see a detailed list of resources. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will show them.
4. Apply the changes:
```
terraform apply
```
5. Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.
Terraform will create all the required resources. You can check the new resources and their settings using the management console or this CLI command:
```
yc organization-manager group list-memebers \
  --name <group_name> \
  --organization-id <organization_ID>
```

Use the Group.updateMembers REST API method for the Group resource or the GroupService/UpdateMembers gRPC API call.
