Edit existing groups

This article describes how to change the following group attributes from the Intune for Education portal > Groups page:

Edit group name

Change the name of an existing group.

Manually assign members to groups

Follow this procedure to add or remove users and devices to an existing assigned group.

If you add or remove a member of a group, the member, whether it is a device or user, may experience a change in access or permissions.

The instructions below detail how to edit user membership. These steps can also be followed to edit membership for device groups.

1. Go to Groups and select the group you want to assign users to.
2. Click Edit user membership.
3. To assign users:
   a. Select one or more members of All other users.
   b. Click Add users.
4. To unassign users:
   a. Select one or more members of Users in group.
   b. Click Remove users.
5. Click OK.

Edit dynamic group rules

Adjust dynamic group rules to accommodate new devices, locations, or school years.

Editing existing rules may remove devices or users who were previously members of the group. Edits may cause them to experience a change in permissions or access.

1. Go to Groups and select the group you want to edit.
2. Click Edit group rules.
3. Make changes to the rules.
4. Click Save changes.

Move a group

Move a group up or down within your existing group list. If you distribute settings differently throughout your group list, moving a group higher or lower on the list changes its scope of settings.

Generally, the higher the position of the group, such as at parent level, the broader its settings.

1. From the Groups list, select the group that you want to move.
2. Click Move Group.
3. Select or search for the location where you want to move the group.
4. Click OK.
