Export Group Membership
The Grades tool in Brightspace allows Instructors to export Brightspace Group Membership in Excel or CSV format. When students join (or are assigned) a group via the Brightspace Groups activity, they are unable to view other groups or their membership. Generating an export of group membership and sharing this file to the Content area of the Brightspace course allows Instructors to share group membership with all students.

Result
This downloads a copy of the file to the My Downloads folder on your device. The contents of the exported file can then be edited or copied into another file type (e.g. .doc .pdf)
Optional: If you would like to share details of group membership with students, upload the exported file to the Manage Files area of your Brightspace module and share the file to the Content area.
