# Removing Team Members

> Taking someone off a team from the members table, one at a time or in bulk — what they lose immediately, and what stays behind with the team

On the **Team** page, find the person in the members table and click the **X** at the right of their
row. Confirm, and they are off the team.

To remove several people at once, tick the checkbox at the left of each row, then use **Remove
Selected** below the table. The checkbox in the header row selects everyone.

Only the team's owner can remove members. Other members see the table without the X or the bulk
button, and the removal is refused at the server too, so there is no way around it.

## Be careful with the owner's own row

The owner's row has no **X**, so it cannot be removed one row at a time. Its checkbox is still
selectable, though — and the header checkbox that selects everyone includes it.

Removing the owner's own row that way does go through, and it is not something you want: the team
stops appearing in your team switcher, because a team only shows up for people with an active
membership in it. Select rows individually rather than using the select-all checkbox.

An owner who wants to hand the team over should use **Leave Team** in the Danger Zone instead, which
transfers ownership on the way out — see [Leaving a Team](/team/leave-a-team).

## What removal actually does

Access ends immediately. The team disappears from their team switcher, and its Collections, Items,
Links, Pages, print batches and Media are no longer reachable by them.

**Nothing they made is deleted.** Everything in QRtub belongs to the team, not to the person who
created it, so the Items they added, the Links they generated and the Pages they built all stay
exactly where they are. Removing someone is never a way to clean up data.

Their QRtub account itself is untouched, along with any other teams they belong to. If your team was
their only one, they will see "No team selected" and can create a team of their own.

## Removing a pending member

A row with the status **Pending** is someone who was invited but has not accepted yet. Removing that
row cancels the invitation. They keep no access, and the notification in their bell stops working.

That only applies to people who already had a QRtub account. An invitation sent to an address with no
account is not in this table at all — cancel those with **Revoke** in the Pending Invitations card.
See [Managing Pending Invitations](/team/pending-invitations).

## Adding someone back

There is no undo and no archive of past members. To bring someone back, invite them again from the
**Invite Member** card; they will need to accept the new invitation. Their old role is not remembered,
so pick it again.
