API

Log in to Yandex Cloud Organization using an administrator or organization owner account.
In the left-hand panel, select Groups and click the line with the group name you need.
Go to the Members tab.
Find the group member you need. You may want to use the search feature.
In the line with the group member you want to delete, click and select Remove from group.
In the window that opens, confirm the exclusion of the member from the group.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

See the description of the command for deleting members from a Cloud Organization user group:
```
yc organization-manager group remove-members --help
```
To delete a member from a user group, run the following command:
```
yc organization-manager group remove-members \
  --name <group_name> \
  --organization-id <organization_ID> \
  --subject-id <member_ID>
```
Where:
- --name: User group name. This is a required parameter.
- --organization-id: Organization ID.
- --subject-id: ID of the member you are deleting from the group.

Terraform allows you to quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. Configuration files store the infrastructure description in the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). Terraform and its providers are distributed under the Business Source License.

For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform website or the mirror.

If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

In the configuration file, describe the group members that are to remain in the group:
```
resource "yandex_organizationmanager_group_membership" "group-members" {
   group_id = "<group_ID>"
   members  = [
     "<member_1_ID>",
     "<member_2_ID>"
   ]
}
```
Where:
- group_id: ID of the group to delete a member from.
- members: IDs of the members that are to remain in the group.
Create resources:
1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.
2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:
```
terraform validate
```
  If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:
```
Success! The configuration is valid.
```
3. Run the command:
```
terraform plan
```
  The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.
4. Apply the configuration changes:
```
terraform apply
```
5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.
Terraform will create all the required resources. You can check the new resources and their settings using the management console or this CLI command:
```
yc organization-manager group list-members \
  --name <group_name> \
  --organization-id <organization_ID>
```

Use the Group.updateMembers REST API method for the Group resource or the GroupService/UpdateMembers gRPC API call.
