I am unaware of any formal word for such behavior, but informally the person will be said to “butt in” or “horn”

(Typically, “butt in” means the person is participating without being wanted, and thereby obstructing the function of the group — a person who butts into an undefined conversation by interrupting. “Horning in” implies that the person is not just obstructing the group but actually misappropriating some of the benefits of the group — if you horn in on a picnic, you are eating some of the food.
