Reviewed on July 15, 2026

Before you start

  • Owner or admin role.
  • An active person or pending invitation in the workspace.

Step by step

  1. 1Open Settings and go to Members.
  2. 2Find the person or pending invitation.
  3. 3To adjust access, choose the new role and confirm.
  4. 4For a pending invitation, use revoke.
  5. 5For an active person, use remove and review the effects before confirming.
  6. 6Check that restricted projects, groups, and stages still have the right participants.

What should happen

The new role takes effect or access is revoked without deleting historical comments and decisions.

Common problems

  • The owner cannot be removed or downgraded.
  • Removing access revokes future participation but keeps history.
  • Promoting someone to Admin grants people, billing, and settings management.
