Remove Team Members

Remove a member from your organization. The member loses access to the organization immediately. Removal does not affect the HiveMQ account of the member or their memberships in other organizations.

Before You Begin

To remove members from an organization, you need to be the organization owner, or have an Owner or Admin role. For a description of the roles, see Organization.

You cannot remove the following members:

  • The organization owner. Each organization has exactly one organization owner. The organization owner is usually the user who created the organization. The remove button is disabled for this member, and HiveMQ rejects any other removal request, such as an API request. To remove the organization owner, see Remove the Organization Owner.

  • Yourself. The remove option is not available in your own row. To leave an organization, ask the organization owner or another member with the Owner or Admin role to remove you. If you are the organization owner, HiveMQ Support must transfer ownership first. For details, see Remove the Organization Owner.

The Owner role does not make a member the organization owner. Any member with the Owner or Admin role can remove a member who has the Owner role but is not the organization owner.
If your organization uses Enterprise SSO, manage members in your identity provider. In this case, the member list shows only the organization owner. For details, see Enterprise Single Sign-On.

Remove a Member

  1. Open the user menu in the upper-right corner.

  2. Select Organization Profile.

  3. Select the Team tab.

  4. In the row of the member that you want to remove, select the remove icon.

  5. Confirm the removal.

Remove the Organization Owner

You cannot remove the organization owner yourself. Only HiveMQ Support can transfer ownership of the organization to another member. After the transfer, you can remove the previous organization owner.

  1. Contact HiveMQ Support and ask them to transfer ownership to the new organization owner. To contact HiveMQ Support, select Get Help in the app or ask Bea.

  2. Wait for HiveMQ Support to confirm the transfer. The previous organization owner now has the Admin role.

  3. Remove the previous organization owner as described in Remove a Member.
