# How to Add and Remove Members from a Group

The program committee is represented as a group, like Reviewers, Area Chairs, Action Editors, etc. Each of these groups have a property 'members' that can contain a set of groups. Email addresses and profile ids are also represented as groups.&#x20;

### **Adding Members to the Group**

If you want to build you own group of reviewers, you can simply add them as members to the group.

**Using the Group Editor**

1. Access the group editor at the following URL, replacing `group_id` with the actual ID of your group: `https://openreview.net/group/edit?id=group_id`&#x20;
2. Under the Group Members section select the text box area, add their profile ID or email, and click on Add to Group

Replace `group` with your target group's ID, and include the profile ids or emails of the members you wish to remove in the list.
