Removing Collaborators from Free Workspaces
We’ve added new capabilities for Admins of free Trello Workspaces to make it easier to manage the collaborators in your Workspace.
Removing Workspace members
Go to the Members page on your Workspace
Find the collaborator you want to remove in the list and click on the Remove button
Click on Remove from Workspace
Once you’ve removed them as a Workspace member, you’ll need to use the steps below to remove them from the boards in the Workspace.
Removing Workspace guests
Go to the Members page on your Workspace
Select the Guests tab on the left side
Find the collaborator you want to remove in the list
Click on the Remove button
Click on Remove from Workspace
What happens when I remove collaborators from my Workspace?
When you remove a collaborator from your Workspace, they’ll be removed from all of the Boards in that Workspace. This means they won’t be able to see these unless the board's Visibility is set to Public and they won’t be able to make any changes to the Board.
If removing a collaborator means you're below the 10 collaborator limit, you’ll also be able to invite new collaborators to your Boards and Workspace if you're below the limit.
If the collaborator you’ve removed is the only admin on the Board, Trello will check if there are any Workspace members on the board who can be promoted to admin instead:
If there is a Workspace member remaining on the board, we’ll promote them to admin automatically.
If there is not a Workspace member remaining on the board and the board's visibility is set to either Workspace Visible or Public, the Workspace admin who’s removing the collaborator will be added to the board as the new admin.
If there is not a Workspace member remaining on the board and the board’s visibility is set to Private, the collaborator won’t be removed from this board but the board will be closed instead. Members of closed boards don't count toward the collaborator limit.
If this happens, the board admin will be able to reopen this board in a different Workspace. When boards are moved to a different Workspace, the board members no longer count towards the collaborator limit for the original Workspace.
While these boards are closed they also won’t count towards the 10 board limit for free Workspaces.
