# How do I manage community members?

## Affected communities

This page concerns **only manual communities**. The main community and dynamic communities work differently: their members are **managed automatically** by Steeple. So you cannot add or remove a member directly from this page.

* For the **main community**, all employees in the organization are automatically members.
* For a **dynamic community**, members are selected automatically according to a rule (for example: all employees in a department or at a site).

### Access member management

Go to the**Administration**, section **Communities** (`/administration/communities`).

Identify the relevant community and click the button **Members** (users icon). The members page opens and lists all employees who are part of this community.

### Add a member

On the community members page, click the button **Add a member** (user icon with a plus) at the top right.

A selection page opens and displays eligible employees (those who are not yet members of this community). You can search by name or email. Select the employees to add and confirm.

If all employees in the organization are already members of the community, the button is disabled with an explanatory message.

### Remove a member

On the members page, use the remove action on the row for the relevant member.

The employee will be removed from the community but will remain in the organization. They will lose access to posts and content visible only to this community.

### Export members

A button **Export** (export icon) is available on the members page to download the community members list.
