Removing Collaborators from a Workspace

To remove a member from a Workspace, go to the Workspace Collaborators page, and select "Remove..." to the right of their avatar, and then click on “Remove from Workspace” on the dropdown menu. This member will also receive a notification that they were removed from the Workspace.

By default, when you select the option to Remove from Workspace, the checkbox to remove the member from all boards within the Workspace will be checked.

You can uncheck this box so they remain a board member on those boards – this will convert them into a Workspace guest.

If you only want to remove a member from a board but keep their Workspace membership, check out this article for instructions.

Removing yourself from a Workspace

You will always be able to remove yourself from a Workspace. Scroll down until you find your own username, where the "Remove..." button will be replaced by a "Leave..." button. If you are the only admin of a Workspace, you will need to make someone else an admin before you can leave or delete the Workspace.

Removing users with Premium and Standard

Removing a member in Workspaces on a paid plan frees up a seat in your subscription which you can grant to another user. We suggest waiting for up to 24 hours before inviting a new member to allow our system to record the correct seat count and avoid additional charges being placed on your payment method.

If you remove a member from a paid Workspace but decide to keep them as a Workspace guest, their membership can be transitioned into a single- or multi-board guest. Multi-board guests are billed at the same rate as a normal Workspace member.

In Workspaces on a Trello Premium plan, you also have the ability to deactivate users.

Deactivating a user will remove the user's access from the Workspace and the boards within the Workspace, but you're still able to see the cards to which the user belonged. This is helpful when trying to re-assign a member's work when one of your colleagues leaves. Deactivating a member will not send them a notification.
