This page lists all the users for the site. To add a user click the New button which opens the Add Users page:

Add or Remove Users in a SharePoint Group

admin — Fri, 14 May 2010 07:03:56 +0000

To add or remove users from a Group firstly navigate to the relevant group (Site Actions > Site Settings > People and Groups > yourGroup ). Then in the group page, click the New dropdown and select Add Users:

This opens the Add Users page (below) where you can either add users by entering them in the Users/Groups box (names should be separated by a semicolon) or click the address book to search and select users from the directory. After you have selected the users to add, either select the group to which you wish to add them or give the users direct permissions. The latter option is not recommended as it will make subsequent administration more difficult since each user’s permissions will have to been updated separately in future.

Create and Add a User in SharePoint (WSS or MOSS)

admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 11:14:35 +0000

To add a new user in SharePoint (MOSS or WSS) the first step is to create the user on the server. Normally Sharepoint users are created in the Active Directory and then given permissions to use the Sharepoint installation.

Creating a User on the Server

Go to Start > Administrative Tools > Computer Management to open the Computer Management console shown below:
Select Action and then New User to bring up the New User Dialog box. Enter the user details and the password options (note in this option we have set the password to never expire, if security is a high priority the password should be left to expire).
Click Create and then Close. The new user should now be visible in the Users listing.

Adding The New User to Sharepoint

Login to the online Sharepoint portal and select Site Settings for the Site Actions dropdown on the right hand side.
On the Site Settings page, select “People and groups” which is under the Users and Permissions heading
On the People and Groups Page, click the arrow beside New and select Add Users.
Enter the username in the Users/Groups box and select the appropriate permission level.

The user is now set up on Sharepoint and can login using the credentials you just set.
