Follow this guide if your site was created without the help of the form provided by ITS. Follow the if the form provided by ITS was used to create your site.

This article covers how site owners can remove, others from a SharePoint site.

  1. Navigate to s.uconn.edu/sharepoint.

  2. Click on your site, then click on [#] members in the top right.

  3. Find the member you would like to remove and click the dropdown arrow next to their membership status (this will say Owner or Member).

  4. Click Remove From Group.

While a user is a member of the SharePoint, they can download files. When a user opens a file to edit it, the file is downloaded onto their computer. When a SharePoint user is removed from the SharePoint, their computer’s link to the SharePoint breaks.

Once the link is broken, any downloaded files will remain on their computer; the files will not remove themselves. Users will not be able to access any SharePoint files that were not previously downloaded.
