How to Manage a Microsoft Entra Security Group

If you are the owner of a Microsoft Entra security group then you have the ability to assign and remove members of that group.  

The procedure is as follows:

1.  In a browser, navigate to https://mygroups.microsoft.com

2. From the MyGroups dashboard, select ‘Groups I own’ in the left navigation pane.

3. Click the group you want to manage

4. Clicking the group ‘Members’ tab will show you a list of current members.  To remove a member, select ‘X Remove’ to the right side of the screen.  To add a member, press the ‘Add’ button in the top left corner of the members table.

5. Pressing ‘Add’ brings up the following dialog box, where you can search for a new member by name and select them.  This can be done as many times a necessary, then when you are happy with your selections, press the blue ‘Add’ button at the bottom of the dialog box.  Leave the dropdown beside the names set to ‘Member’, otherwise you will be giving the user the rights to manage the group just like you are doing now.  

6.  Once the user(s) have been added, you will be back at the members list where you should review it to make sure the list includes the members that are supposed to be in the group.  

7.  You may now close out of this browser window and your group managment task is complete.
