Remove a member from a team or account

Keep access to your organization, teams, and social accounts up-to-date. Super admins and admins can remove members from their organizations. When you remove a member, they cannot collaborate with other organization members. They also lose access to organization-specific features.

A removed member's Hootsuite account only retains features specific to their plan type. Learn more about our plan offerings.

If you need to remove an account owner, you must transfer ownership of the organization to someone else (see Transfer ownership of a Hootsuite account) before they can be removed. In this case, the new owner assumes paying member status and the previous owner frees up their team seat.

Remove a member from an organization

Remove a member from an organization and any teams they belong to in the organization.

1. Select My profile, and then select Manage accounts and teams.
   
2. Select Manage next to the organization.

If the member is not removed, ensure the member is not the account and organization owner. For more information on removing an organization owner, see Transfer ownership of a Hootsuite account.
