# Edit users in IAM groups
Edit users in IAM groups

Use IAM groups to apply the same permissions policies across multiple users at once. You can then add users to or remove users from an IAM group. This is useful as people enter and leave your organization.

## Review policy access


Before you remove a group, use the group details page to review the members (IAM users) of the group, the policies attached to the group on the **Permissions** tab and review recent service-level activity using the **Last Accessed** tab. This helps prevent unintentionally removing access from a principal (person or application) who is using it. For more information about viewing last accessed information, see [Refine permissions in AWS using last accessed information](access_policies_last-accessed.md).
