When adding users, you can check them one by one using the filter field at the top to facilitate the search. It's also possible to check the necessary group or the Select all option on the right to add all the users from the selected group or all the portal users respectively.

4. If necessary, change the permission details for each particular user/group selecting one of the available options from the drop-down list next to the person/group name.
