Is it possible to remove a user from the "All People" hidden group in SharePoint Online? Ideally via PowerShell if possible...

Currently you are able to view and manually delete users from a site collection via https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0. It would be great if anyone knew how to achieve this via PowerShell.

Any help appreciated!

  • Are you sure that you really want to do that? It might be an easy fix on a current issue, but long term it might really be a royal pain that all people is not all people.

  • Hi Kasper, thank you for your comments. Yes I am sure, removing the entry from the site collection All People group resolves an issue a user is experiencing (sharing error when inviting a user that has previously accessed our tenant). If the issue comes back I will contact Microsoft to take a look at the SPODS.
