Add users
The best practice for adding users to a SharePoint site is generally to first create a group with appropriate permissions, and then add users to the group. See Create a New Group . Note that you cannot currently add AD Groups to SharePoint Online.
If you have an existing group configured, to add users to it:
- In your site, click Site Contents, and then click Settings.
- Under “Users and Permissions”, click People and groups.
- On the left, select the group to which you’d like to add the users.
- Click the drop-down arrow next to New, and then select Add Users.
- In the box “Enter names, email addresses or ‘Everyone'”, type the name, username, or email address of the user and select them from the search box that appears.
- Include a personal message if desired, and click Show Options to choose whether to send an email invitation.
- When you’re finished, click Share.
Delete users
To delete users from a SharePoint site:
- In your site, click Site Contents, and then click Settings.
- Under “Users and Permissions”, click People and groups.
- On the left, select the group from which you’d like to remove the users.
- Use the checkboxes to select the users you want to delete.
- Click Actions, and then select Remove Users from Group.
- Click OK to confirm the deletion.
