Does CiviGroup Roles Sync work with bulk changes to groups?

Question

Using CiviCRM 4.7.17 with Drupal 7.54

CiviGroup Roles sync adds and removes Drupal users from Drupal roles when changes to CiviGroup groups are done one Contact at a time from the groups tab for the Contact. So the sync is set up correctly.

But when I add or remove Contacts to/from CiviGroup groups in bulk from a list of Contacts, the changes are not synced to the Drupal roles.

These are NOT Smart groups by the way.

Am I missing something? How can I do bulk add/remove Contacts in Civi and have the Drupal roles synced accordingly?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Answer 1

From what I understand CiviMember Role sync and CiviGroup Role sync auto-mapping - are evaluated at the time the User logs in.

Login -> is user in a specific Group -> ah yes -> so assign role x

So there really is no need to hit the sync button - I don't think; all is well on login.
