How to edit/modify Sharepoint GROUPS page/view


How to edit/modify Sharepoint GROUPS page/view of the People and Groups section in Site Settings.

The View Edit page is an application page in layouts folder (_layouts/viewedit.aspx) and it accepts two parameters in query string: List and View IDs.

Open the groups page (http://moss2007site.com/_layouts/groups.aspx)

Open page source from [View >> Source (Internet explorer)] & [More Tools >> View Source (Google Chrome)] and find list and view GUIDs there. 

Search for 'WebQuerySourceHref' phrase to find the GUID values there.

Once you find the GUIDs, transform your URL as shown below.

http://moss2007site.com/_layouts/viewedit.aspx?List={417E8196-680A-4E81-B643-C89C04198A70}&View={939AA1A5-B824-40CA-B415-814C3D9750A1}

(NOTE: Do not copy the above URL. It won't work for you. GUIDs change for every SP web application)

You can change the view display options, item limits and sort order many things you can do for any Views in the SharePoint.

This worked for me in SharePoint Online also.
