Category
Drupal Version
Tags

To add or remove a person, you must have the role of Administrator for that group.

Adding a Person

  1. On a Group page, find and select the Group tab at the top of the page (after the "View" tab).
  2. Select the "Add people" link.
    The shortcut to this link for any group is: https://hg.gatech.edu/group/node/#/admin/people/add-user, where # is the group ID number.
  3. In the User name text box, type the name of the person you want to add.
    • If their name automatically appears as a drop-down after a few moments, select their name in that drop-down.
    • If not, the person needs to log in to Mercury, so that their account can then be found in the system.
  4. Check the boxes next to the Roles this person should have within your Group.
  5. Select the Add users button at the bottom of this page.
  6. If successful, you will see a message at the top of the page that says "[User Name] has been added to the group [Group Name]."
  7. You can return to the Group tab page by selecting the Group link in the breadcrumbs, after the name of this group.

Removing a Person

  1. On a Group page, find and select the Group tab at the top of the page (after the "View" tab).
  2. Select the "People" link.
    The shortcut to this link for any group is: https://hg.gatech.edu/group/node/#/admin/people, where # is the group ID number.
  3. In the Name text box, type the name of the person you want to remove and select Apply.
    • If their name automatically appears as a drop-down after a few moments, select their name in that drop-down and then select the Apply button.
    • If not, you may have misspelled their name (or they may be a member under their GT Account, e.g. gburdell3).
  4. Find this person's account in the table at the bottom and select the Remove link in the farthest right column for their row.

    (Only the Manager of the Group can remove more than one user at a time using "Operations".)
  5. Select the Remove button on the next page.
  6. If successful, you will see a message at the top of the page that says "The membership was removed."
