How to Remove Users from SharePoint Group Programmatically in SharePoint 2013

Hello SharePointers,

In this article, I will give a simple code to remove users from a SharePoint group programatically.Below is the code to remove from user to the group using Server Side Object Model.

public static void AddRemovefromSharePoint Group( string spuser,string spgroup,string spurl)

{

string loginName = spuser;

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()

{

using (SPSite site = new SPSite(spurl))

{

using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())

{

try

{

web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

// Check if User exists

SPUser spUser = web.EnsureUser(sploginName);

if (spUser != null)

{

SPGroup Group = web.Groups[spgroup];

if (Group != null)

{

spGroup.RemoveUser(spUser);
spGroup.Update();

}

}

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

//Write to Log

Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);

}

finally

{

web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;

web.Close();

}

}

}

});

                Console.WriteLine(“spuser Removed successfully”);

}

Ensure User is a method that checks whether the specified logon name belongs to a valid user of the SharePoint Site, and if the logon name does not already exist, it will add it to SharePoint Site.
