  3. Eiher scroll to the list you would like to manage or search for the list using the search box in the upper left-hand corner.

  4. Double-click the name of the shared mailbox and the management window will open. If you wish to edit the group members (assuming that you are the group owner), select Modify Members....

  5. Selecting Add... will allow you to add a member to the group, selecting Remove will allow you to remove a specified member from the group, and selecting Properties... will allow you to view more details about specific member of the group.
