Member Removal Issues

Solutions for common problems when removing team members from workspaces.

Removing Team Members

Cannot See Remove Member Option

The remove option is missing when you click on a team member's actions menu.

Solution:

1. Verify you have Owner or Admin permissions. Members cannot remove anyone.
2. If you're an Admin, check if you're trying to remove another Admin or the Owner. Admins can only remove Members.
3. Note that the Owner cannot remove themselves. This is a protection feature.
4. Refresh the page if the actions menu doesn't load properly.

Removed Member Still Has Workspace Access

You removed a team member, but they report they can still access the workspace.

Solution:

1. Verify the member was actually removed. Check if they still appear in Settings → Workspace → Team.
2. If they're gone from the list, ask them to:
   • Sign out completely from Firebuzz.
   • Close all browser tabs.
   • Clear their browser cache.
   • Try accessing the workspace again.
3. Check if they have access through a different account or email address.
4. Verify they're trying to access the correct workspace.
5. Contact support if access persists after 5 minutes.

Seat Count Didn't Update After Removal

You removed a team member, but your available seat count hasn't increased.

Solution:

1. Wait 10-15 seconds for the sync to complete.
2. Refresh the page to see the updated seat count.
3. Verify the removal completed successfully. The member should not appear in the team list.
4. Try accessing the page from a different browser if the issue persists.
5. Contact support if the seat count remains incorrect after several minutes.

Need to Remove the Workspace Owner

You want to remove the workspace Owner from the team.

The Owner cannot be removed from the workspace. This is by design to prevent accidental loss of workspace control.

Solution:

1. Contact Firebuzz support to request ownership transfer.
2. Provide proof of authorization to transfer ownership.
3. Once ownership is transferred to someone else, the former Owner becomes a regular member.
4. The new Owner can then remove the former Owner if needed.

Accidentally Removed the Wrong Team Member

You removed a team member by mistake and need to restore their access.

Removal cannot be undone. You must send a new invitation to restore access.

Solution:

1. Go to Settings → Workspace → Team.
2. Click Invite Member.
3. Enter the removed member's email address.
4. Send the invitation.
5. After they accept, manually reassign their previous role (Admin if applicable).
6. Apologize and explain the error to the team member.
