Removing a user from a SharePoint site is very simple indeed.…We're going to go back to our Site Actions > Site Permissions.…We've got to figure out where they are.…Sometimes that's a little more difficult than you might imagine, because you…could find a certain user being in both the Members group and the Owners group…and the Visitors group.…If a user is in more than one group, they'll get the maximum allowed.…So, you want to be careful when a user might be in different places.…So, I'm going to go into, say, my Members group and see that I've got a group…there called operations. That looks good.…
I'm going to go into my Owners group, and say I've got Heather and myself. That looks fine.…I'm going to go into my Visitors group.…Okay, Gini was in there.…Well, I actually didn't want Gini in there.…It was relevant for a while but not anymore.…It's very simple to remove her.…I'm just going to select her, come across to the Actions option, which says…Remove Users from the Group. Click that one.…Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure.…

Q: In the "Adding a user to a site" movie, the instructor shows how to add a user to SharePoint and demonstrates by adding a user named “gini.” But gini is already set up and recognized by SharePoint. What if I have no users set yet? How can I add someone?
A: SharePoint doesn't store a separate user database; it wants to be pointed to an existing source of users, like Active Directory. If you don't have that, you need to first add your new users as local accounts on the Windows box you installed SharePoint on. Only then will you be able to give them permission on a SharePoint site.
