You might need to scroll down in the dialog to see all of the users in the Resource Pool.
Note: If a user becomes a member of a group, team, company or is associated with a job role after the group, team, company or job role have been added to the Resource Pool, the new member is not automatically added to the Resource Pool.
If a user belongs to the team, group, company, and job role you are adding, at the same time, the user is added only once to the Resource Pool.
Users who are deactivated after having been added to the Resource Pool appear dimmed in the list of users and are marked as being deactivated. -
(Optional) Use the Undo link to remove the users added through a group, team, company or job role.
note note NOTE There is no limit to how many users you can have in a Resource Pool. However, we recommend not adding too many users to a Resource Pool, as Resource Management could become a challenge otherwise. The list of users only shows the first 2,000 users in the Resource Pool, and they are listed alphabetically.
