Change a member’s organization role or remove them without leaving production, billing, or licenses orphaned.

Best for: Owners and authorized administrators.

Before you start

Role changes affect authorization and may affect billable seats; owner/last-owner protections may apply.

  • Sign in with an individual account in the correct organization.
  • Confirm your role permits the requested change.
  • Record the current state and intended owner before making a production-impacting change.

Step by step

  1. Review current responsibilities. List events, teams, live sessions, billing duties, provider ownership, desktop licenses, and pending handoffs.
  2. Choose the target role. Compare effective permissions and billable status; use a custom role when the defaults are too broad.
  3. Apply the change. Open Members, locate the exact account, and change the role once.
  4. Recheck team access. Organization role and team/event permission combine; remove unnecessary team membership.
  5. Transfer operational ownership. Move active event, billing, integration, and license responsibilities before removing access.
  6. Remove the member if approved. Confirm identity and organization, then remove.
  7. Verify from both sides. Refresh admin views and confirm the former member cannot access protected resources.
  8. Document privileged changes. Record request, approver, before/after role, and time.

What success looks like: The requested change is applied to the intended organization, is visible after refresh, and grants no more access than required.

Check your setup

  • The member has exactly the approved effective access and billing status, or all organization access is removed after a clean handoff.

Troubleshooting

Member still sees an event

Check cached session, other organization membership, team access, direct event access, and active desktop tokens.

Cannot change owner

Add/transfer to another owner according to governance first.

Unexpected billable seat

Review default/custom role billing classification and subscription seat count.

Security and operational notes

  • Do not demote/remove the only accountable owner during an event.
  • Revoke desktop sessions and release licenses where required.
  • Treat role changes as security-audited actions.
