Add and Remove Members of a Group

You can add or remove users in a group definition when you are logged in as a Composer system administrator or as a user who has been assigned to a group with group management privileges. You can add or delete users in a group at any time.

Management of the supplied Administrators group can only be performed by a member of that group or by a user in a group with all the following privileges: Can Administer Users, Can Administer Groups, and Can Administer Dashboards.

To add or remove members in a group:

1. Log into Composer as a Composer administrator or a user who has been assigned to a group with group management privileges.

   If the user name you log in with is also associated with other Composer accounts, verify that the correct account is selected. See Switch Accounts.

2. Select Users & Groups on the UI menu (). The Users and Groups page appears. It consists of two sections: Users and Groups.

3. List the group definitions defined for the account. See List and Review Group Definitions.

7. Select (check) the names of the users in the dialog that you want to add to the group. To remove members, clear (uncheck) the checkboxes corresponding to the user names in the dialog that you want to remove from the group.

   If all users should be added or removed in the group, select the Select All option.

   You can sort the user list by name in ascending or descending order to help you locate the user names you need.

   Use the search bar to easily locate a specific user when the user list is very long.
