Owners of a SharePoint site can add others to the site, change their role, or remove them.

> ✅ Be sure to have multiple Owners to your site. They will be able to assist in administrative tasks if you are away or leave the university.

> ℹ️ External users (those without UConn email addresses) can be added to SharePoint sites. Visit our [https://uconn.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IKB/pages/26402750535](https://uconn.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IKB/pages/26402750535) guide to learn how.

## Adding UConn Users as Members

1. Navigate to [s.uconn.edu/sharepoint](http://s.uconn.edu/sharepoint).
2. Find your SharePoint site and click on it. Give the webpage a few seconds to fully load.
3. Click on either **Members **or **Site Access **in the top right corner.
4. <span style="color: #1e1e1e">Click </span><span style="color: #1e1e1e">**Add Members.**</span>
5. <span style="color: #1e1e1e">Search for the people you would like to add by either their name or their email address.</span>
6. Decide the access level these new users should have.
  1. Add them as a **Member **if you would like them to have read/edit/delete/restore access to all of the files in the SharePoint site. Members can also share files.
  2. Add them as an **Owner **if you would like them to be able to add other users to this site as you are now.
7. <span style="color: #1e1e1e">Click </span><span style="color: #1e1e1e">**Save.**</span>

> ℹ️ New users added will be added as a Member by default. You can change their role to Owner by using the drop-down arrow under their name.

## Changing Roles Between Member and Owner

1. Find the member you would like to change and click the dropdown arrow next to their membership status (this will say **Owner **or **Member**).
2. Choose the new role this user should have, or remove them from the site.

## Remove Users

To remove a user, follow the steps above to see the Owner/Member list. Click on their current role, and then click on **Remove**.
