You can remove a user or users from a workspace when you no longer want them to have access to any models or data in that workspace.

Note that you can manage user access to workspaces in three ways:

  • A user administrator can create users and assign them to, or unassign them from, a workspace in the Administration console.
  • A workspace administrator can add or remove users from the Users pane in a model.
  • A workspace administrator can import a list of users to add users and update user details.

If a user administrator and workspace administrator input conflicting changes for a user, the most recent transaction determines the user account status. 

To avoid user status conflicts, we recommend that your organization use the user administrator role to provision user access. Workspace administrators can then refine model-level access from the Users pane within a model.

This procedure is for when you want to remove users from a workspace when you're in a model. Learn how to manage user access, as a user administrator, from the Administration console.

It’s quicker to delete several users at the same time than to delete each separately. You can delete up to 250 users at a time.

Before you begin

You must be in a model within the workspace from which you want to delete the user or users.

Note: If you delete users from any model in the workspace, they’re removed from all models in that workspace. If you only want to remove a user’s access to a specific model in a workspace, change their model role instead.

Before you launch the Delete from Users wizard, select the users you want to remove from the workplace. If you do not select any users, the first user in the list is automatically selected.

If you want to select:then:
a single userselect any cell in the row that contains that user.

click the top-left corner of the grid.

Note: you cannot delete yourself, so your user is not selected for deletion in the wizard.
