members tab

Question

Hi,

I have two SharePoint sites, but I don't see the Members tab on one of them. I am the site admin and site owner for both sites. On one site, I can see the Members tab, but on the other, I cannot. Could you please guide me on how to enable the option to add members from the SharePoint site?

Hi @Glenn Maxwell,

Thank you for posting in this community.

The absence of a “Members” tab in some SharePoint sites can be due to several reasons:

1. Site Type: Different types of SharePoint sites (e.g., Communication sites vs. Team sites) have different features and layouts. Team sites typically have a “Members” tab, while Communication sites might not.
2. Permissions and Roles: If you don’t have the necessary permissions, you might not see the “Members” tab. Ensure you have at least “Edit” permissions to view and manage site members.
3. Are other users with permissions facing the same problem? View through another computer or account.
4. Try to use a different browser or your browser's InPrivate mode to see if the same error occurs.

If you’re managing a site and need to add or view members, you can usually do this through the site settings or by accessing the site’s permissions settings directly.
