How to Add or Remove a User

Step	What to Do	How It Looks
1	Click on the relevant service, like File Sharing, Workstation Access, or Confluence. In the example to the right, we've selected the File Sharing service because we want to add a new employee to our department's share point on the Files server.
2	Click on the group that you'll be adding a user to. In the example to the right, we've selected the Charlie group.
3	Find the user by typing their name, Biola ID number, or NetID into the Directory search field on the right side. In our example, we searched for Lenny Test and found his "card".
4	Drag the user's card to the open access group and let go. Find an add any other users who need access.
5	To remove a user, click on the trash icon on their card. In our example, we're removing Lenny Test because he left our department.
6	When you're done adding and removing users, click Save Changes. You'll briefly see a pop-up window confirming the success of your changes.
