How Do I Manage Users and Roles Within a Group?

Updated on 13 April, 2026

Learn how to add or remove users and assign or detach roles within a Vultr IAM group. Manage group membership and permissions through the Console or the API.

Group management is available through both the Vultr Console under [Your Organization] > Groups > [Target Group] and the Vultr API.

Managing via the Vultr Console

From the group detail page in the Console you can view and manage three areas:

  • Details — displays and allows you to edit the group name and description, and shows the creation date and group UUID.
  • Roles — lists all roles currently assigned to the group. You can assign additional roles to the group or remove existing ones. Any role change immediately propagates to all current members of the group.
  • Members — lists all users currently in the group. You can add users to the group or remove them. Adding a user immediately extends all of the group's role and permission policy assignments to that user. Removing a user immediately revokes those inherited assignments without affecting any permissions the user holds through direct assignments or other group memberships.

Managing via the Vultr API

Full API support is available for creating, updating, and deleting groups, managing group members, and listing roles and permission policies assigned to a group. Refer to the Vultr API Reference for the complete list of available group endpoints.

Note
During the current early access phase, permission policies and roles assigned to groups are fully enforced when interacting with the Vultr API. However, they may not be reflected correctly or fully enforced in the Console. Use Vultr-managed permission policies for full compatibility with both the Console and the API during this phase.
