We've discussed the bulk download of group memberships a bit in
Wellington. Using a bulk option can quickly result in performance
decreases as whichever way we look at it, downloading members in bulk
even for a subset can be a lot of people in the subset. So, we'll go
with the alternative approach to put a "Download group membership"
button next to the settings one for each group.

That way, admins can target each group easily without having to delete
people from groups they didn't want to download.

Administrators who perform a lot of bulk membership actions can / should
keep their CSV files to make any changes down the track instead of
downloading it from Mahara directly every time.

Putting the button in does not prevent us from extending that
functionality at a later stage to look into ways for bulk options once
we know more if people do need that or whether the single group
membership download button is sufficient.

Title:
  Download CSV file with group membership

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  A site admin is able to download group membership via a CSV file for
  all the groups displayed on "Administer groups", i.e. in the format
  you would need for /admin/groups/uploadmemberscsv.php

  I would include the first name, last name and display name though
  besides the username so it's easier to identify the people without
  always having to look up the real name. We have a user spreadsheet at
  /admin/users/report.php (but you wouldn't need ID number , remote
  username, last login and probation).

  We can display up to 500 groups at once. That can be a lot of users in
  them potentially taking quite a bit of processing power to generate
  the CSV. If that is not feasible processing-wise, we'll need to think
  about a different approach. The paginator allows us to display 1, 10,
  20, 50, 100 and 500 results. So we don't always have to show 500
  groups.

  This would go for manually created groups as well as CSV-created
  groups. This will be done as part of other group enhancements for bug
  #826649.
