Remove others from a SharePoint Site
This article covers how site owners remove users from a SharePoint site.
Follow this guide if your site was created with the help of ITS. Follow the Remove Owners and Members from a custom SharePoint Site guide if you created the SharePoint site yourself.
Removing Users
Navigate to s.uconn.edu/sharepoint and click on your site.
Click Site Access in the top right corner.
In the popup toolbar, click on the carets to expand the groups.
Click on the permissions of the user you would like to remove. Click on Remove.
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.
