# Manage group members

## Adding members

Once you have created a group you will need to add members to it, you may also wish to add additional members to an existing group.

1. Go to *Course administration > Users > Groups* from the **Administration** block while in a course.
2. Select the group you wish to add members to.
3. Click **Add/remove users**.
4. Select the user(s) you wish to add from the **Potential members** column.
5. Click the central **Add** button.

If you wish to select multiple members to add at once then first click and hold the **Ctrl** button on your keyboard before selecting all the users you want to add.

You can use the search box below the **Potential members** column if you want to find a particular user to add.

You can also add users to a group (or create a new group to add users to) when enrolling users on a course using the [**Audience sync**](/totara-20/docs/configure-audience-sync-enrolment) plugin. Additionally, you can assign users to groups when [bulk uploading users](/totara-20/docs/upload-a-user).

## Removing members

To remove members from a group, follow these steps:

1. Go to *Course administration > Users > Groups* from the **Administration** block while in a course.
2. Select the group you wish to add members to.
3. Click **Add/remove users**.
4. Select the user(s) you wish to add from the **Group** **members** column.
5. Click the central **Remove** button.

If you wish to select multiple members to add at once then first click and hold the **Ctrl** button on your keyboard before selecting all the users you want to remove.

You can use the search box below the **Group members** column if you want to find a particular user to remove.
