 IDP user with multiple groups in Cognos for MFA

We are currently in the process of configuring IDP to use MFA in our Cognos Environment. 

In IDP, there is an open text box where you can input a value for Cognos_Group. You can then use this group to grant the user permissions by adding the group directly into the IDP namespace and assigning it to a Cognos role. 

However, we have users that we would like to assign to multiple groups. Does anyone know of a way to add multiple groups to the Cognos_Group in IDP?

Thanks,

Has anyone else ever set up an IDP namespace in Cognos? How did you handle groups? We have too many users to manually add the newly created users to their correct Cognos role.
