Add or remove someone in a space

Tips: If you use Chat with a Google Workspace account:

• You can add a Google Group to the space. Learn how to add a Google Group to a space.
• Your administrator can create a space that everyone in your organization can find. For example, your administrator can add a group named everyone@yourcompany.com to a space.
• By default, any member can remove another member without administrator approval or restrictions, unless the space settings explicitly restrict membership management.
