Modify the groups listed when granting permissions to a site

When you click the button ‘Grant Permissions’ in the Permission screen of a site you always get the option to insert a user inside a SharePoint group. Most of the time there are some groups listed that are not applicable. But we can do something about that.

• Go to the Site Settings of your website
• Click ‘People and groups’
• Click on the ‘More…’ link in the Quick Launch in the Groups section
• Click ‘Settings’
• Click ‘Edit Group Quick Launch’
• In the following screen you can pick the groups that show up in the Group Quick Launch, but this list will also be used in the ‘Grant Permission’ screen
