Remove a member from a team or account

Keep access to your organization, teams, and social accounts up-to-date. 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.

Remove a member from an organization

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

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.

You must be a Super Admin, Admin, or member with the custom organization permission to Manage members to remove members from an organization.

Follow the instructions for your plan. If you don't know what plan you have, go to Hootsuite and select Account - you'll find it below your name.
