Hi Praveen,

You can't add "Contact" records in Public groups.

We can add only "Users", "Public Groups", "Roles" and "Role and Subordinates" within a Public group.

Hi Bhanu,
The only problem we are facing is when i already added user to the group as per role base, then we are unable to remove that user even deselect the checkbox "Notify me on new release" .

As your code working when no any user is added in the group initially.

Hi Praveen,

We cannot remove remove any user if they are added to the group by role. Evwey user withat role will get added automatically even if we remove them.

If the user is added manually then only we can remove user from public group.

The work around would be

If the user is added manually (explicitly) to the group then they can be removed. If they are part of the group by proxy, example as you describe, the role is part of the group then they cannot be removed.

The way to exclude them from the group is to :
1) Create a whole new role for that user
2) Create another public group for the role which has the users manually added and exclude this one user. You can then add this group to the public group.
