Remove a Member from a Workspace
How to deactivate a member from your workspace.
To take away someone's access to a workspace, you deactivate them. A deactivated member loses access to the workspace. Use this when a person leaves the team or should no longer be able to see or act in the workspace.
Before you start
You must have permission to manage members (admins and the workspace Owner can).
To deactivate someone who is an Admin, you must be the workspace Owner. Admins can deactivate members but not other admins.
You can't deactivate yourself, and the workspace Owner can't be deactivated. If the owner needs to leave, transfer ownership first - see Transfer ownership of a workspace.
Steps
Click the workspace on the top left(, or your avatar in the top right corner) to open the menu, then select Settings.
In the Settings sidebar, under Workspace, select Members.
Find the person in the list and click the ⋮ (more) button at the end of their row.
Select Deactivate.
In the confirmation dialog ("Deactivate member"), read the warning that they will lose access to the workspace, then click Deactivate to confirm.
What to expect
The person is deactivated right away and loses access to the workspace. Their entry stays visible in the Members list, shown in a dimmed (deactivated) state, rather than disappearing entirely.
Troubleshooting
There's no Deactivate option in the ⋮ menu → You may not have permission, you're looking at your own row, or the person is the workspace Owner (owners can't be deactivated). To deactivate an admin, you need to be the owner.
You only want to reduce their access, not remove it → Lower their role instead.
The owner is leaving the team → Deactivating the owner isn't possible. Transfer ownership to someone else first, then the former owner (now an admin) can be deactivated. See Transfer Workspace Ownership.
