Change a user’s group membership

User the Server app to change the groups a user belongs to.

By default, users belong to the Workgroup group. Don’t remove users from this group, because all users need to belong to at least one group.

  1. Select Users in the Server app sidebar.

  2. Double-click a user.

    To change the group membership for several users, hold down the Command key while selecting users, then click the Action pop-up menu gear, then choose Edit Users.

  3. Do any of the following:

    • To add a group, click Add add, then enter the name of the group.

      The name autocompletes as you type. If it doesn’t, make sure you spelled the group’s name correctly. The Server app looks up local and network account names—including those in the external network account server, if your server is connected to one.

    • To remove a group, select the group, then click Remove remove.
