Remove a User from a Group

A group does not "own" a user, so you can add and remove users to groups without affecting the user's properties. As a member of a group, a user inherits the group's classification (segments). Removing a user from a group removes the user from roles predicated on membership in that group, but it does not change the individual user's properties.

For example, you might remove a user from a group to change the user's classification and privileges. You could remove a user from the PortalSystemAdministrators group, which maps to the PortalSystemAdministrator role. Removing the user from this group means that he or she will no longer have the privileges associated with the PortalSystemAdministrator role.

You can move users from a group two different ways:

To remove users from a group:

1. In the Users and Groups Resource tree, select the group to which you want to add a user.
2. Select the Edit Users in a Group tab.
3. Type the user's name in the Login ID field and click Search. To select multiple users, click a letter in the Quick Search field. Selected users appear in the Select box.
4. Click the check box next to each user to select it, and click Select Users. Selected users now appear in the Edit box.
5. Click Remove Users from Group.

To remove users from multiple groups:

1. Find the user you want to remove.
2. Click Edit Profile Values.
3. Select the Edit Group Memberships tab. Groups to which the user belongs are listed.
4. Click the box next to the appropriate group.
5. Click the Remove User from Group(s) button.
