Security within SharePoint 2013

Removing security

Logically, if you’ll be granting access to SharePoint 2013, you’ll be removing access, as well. Removing users from items or groups involves the same steps as adding users. You’ll begin to realize the convenience of managing users in groups as opposed to individually. Removing users from a group can be done in one location instead of each location where they’ve been added separately.

Remove a user from a group

1. On the Home page, click the Settings button (the small gear icon next to the name of the logged-on user). On the menu that appears, click Site Settings.

   

2. On the Site Settings page, in the Users And Permissions section, click People And Groups.

   

3. On the Quick Launch bar, click Groups.

   

4. Click the name of the group from which you want to remove the user.

   

5. Select the check box next to the name of the user whom you want to remove.

   

6. Click the Actions drop-down arrow.

7. On the menu that appears, click Remove Users From Group.

   

8. In the pop-up message box that asks you to confirm the change, click OK.
