# Adding and removing users and managers

{% hint style="warning" %}
Administrators and managers of groups are not included in the count of your total users unless they've also added themselves as a member of the group. Administrators and managers who want premium features applied to their accounts must add themselves as group members.
{% endhint %}

## Adding users

{% hint style="info" %}
If any of the users you add have personal Overleaf subscriptions, please let them know they’ll need to cancel their plans if they no longer want to be charged for them.
{% endhint %}

To access group member management, click **Manage Members** on the [Subscription p](https://docs.overleaf.com/groups/getting-started/accessing-your-admin-account)[age](https://docs.overleaf.com/groups/getting-started/accessing-your-admin-account).

* To add a single user to the group, enter the user’s email address in the **Add more members** field. Then, click **Add**.
* To add multiple users, copy and paste a list of email addresses separated by commas. Then, click **Add**.

Note that adding users to a group does not create an Overleaf account for the user. Adding a user to the group will send an invitation to join the group to the email address provided. The person who receives the invite can either create a new Overleaf account to join the group, or accept the invitation using an existing Overleaf account.&#x20;

## Removing users

To remove users, tick the box next to the email address(es) of the user(s) you wish to remove, then click **Remove from group**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Removing a user from a group subscription will place the user's account back on the Free plan. Professional groups with managed users have the additional option of deleting user accounts. Please see:[managed-user-accounts](https://docs.overleaf.com/groups/user-management/managed-user-accounts "mention").
{% endhint %}

## Exporting a list of users

To download a list of group members, click **Export to CSV**.

## Add and remove group managers

To access group manager management, click the **Manage Group Managers** link. Use the same steps to add and remove group managers as you did to add and remove group members. Group Managers must be current Overleaf account holders.

All Group Managers have the same ability to manage users, view metrics, and add and remove managers. Managers do not need to be members, so do not necessarily consume a license.

There is only one Group Admin. This is the person who owns the group subscription and receives billing notices and metrics emails. Please contact us at <support@overleaf.com> if you need to change the Group Admin.
