# Editing a group

Use the **Groups** page to edit existing groups in the PingOne Directory.

## Steps

1. In the PingOne admin console, go to **Directory > Groups** and browse or search for the group you want to edit.

2. Click the group entry to expand the details panel.

3. On the **Overview** tab, edit the group name, description, or metadata properties. Learn more in [Creating a group](p1_create_group.html).

4. On the **Users** tab, edit the group membership. You can add users manually, dynamically, or a combination of both. Learn more in [Managing group membership](p1_add_members_to_group.html).

   |   | You can't add users to an external group in PingOne. Group membership is managed by the group source. You can remove users, but the user might be added back to the group automatically the next time the group is synced with the source. |

5. On the **Groups** tab, edit the nested groups. Learn more in [Nested groups](p1_groups_vs_populations.html#p1-nested-groups).

6. On the **Roles** tab, edit the group roles. Learn more in [Group roles](p1_groups_vs_populations.html#p1-group-roles).

7. Click the **X** in the upper right to close the group details panel.
