Removing users from the account or from the workspace

Last updated: Nov 27, 2024

The IBM Cloud account administrator or owner can remove users from the IBM Cloud account. Any use with the Admin role can remove users from a workspace.

Removing users from the IBM Cloud account

You can remove a user from an IBM Cloud account, so that the user can no longer log in to the console, switch to your account, or access account resources.

Required roles

: To remove a user from an IBM Cloud account, you must have one of the following roles for your IBM Cloud account:

Owner

Administrator

Editor

To remove a user from the IBM Cloud account:

From the Cloud Pak for Data as a Service navigation menu, click Administration > Access (IAM).
Click Users and find the name of the user that you want to remove.
Choose Remove user from the action menu and confirm the removal.

Removing a user from an account doesn't delete the IBMid for the user. Any resources such as projects or catalogs that were created by the user remain in the account, but the user no longer has access to work with those resources. The account owner, or an administrator for the service instance, can assign other users to work with the projects and catalogs or delete them entirely.

For more information, see IBM Cloud docs: Removing users from an account.

Removing users from a workspace

You can remove collaborators from a workspace, such as a project, catalog, space, or category, so that the user can no longer access the workspace or any of its contents.

Required role: To remove a user from a workspace, you must have the Admin collaborator role for the workspace that you are editing.

To remove a collaborator, select one or more users (or user groups) on the Access control page of the workspace and click Remove.

The user is still a member of the IBM Cloud account and can be added as a collaborator to other workspaces as needed.
