If someone no longer needs access to a project or team, you can take them out of it. They stay in the rest of the workspace, and the surveys they’ve recorded stay where they are.
Who Can Do This#
- Project Coordinators can remove people from their project and its teams.
- Team Coordinators can remove people from their own team.
- Workspace Admins can remove people from any project or team.
To take someone out of the whole workspace, see Removing Workspace Members (Workspace Admins only).
Removing One Person#
- Go to the members list for the project or team: open its settings page and click the Members tab.
- Find the person. Typing part of their name or email in the search box is the quickest way.
- Click the ⋯ button at the right-hand end of their row and choose Remove User.
- Cartographer asks you to confirm (“Remove this person from the project? They will still be a member of the workspace.”). Click to confirm.
On a project’s list this removes the person from the project; on a team’s list it removes them from the team.
Removing Several People at Once#
- On the members list, tick the people you want to remove. To remove a whole group, filter the list first, then tick the box in the heading and choose All matching.
- Click Remove from Team (or Remove from Project, where it’s offered) in the bar above the list.
- Choose the team or project and click Next.
- Check the summary, enter a verification code, and confirm. The code is from your authenticator app, or a one-time code we email to you (see Setting Up and Removing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)).
Which of these you see depends on the list you start from:
| Members list | Remove actions |
| Project | Remove from Team (the project’s own teams) |
| Team | Remove from Team, Remove from Project |
| Workspace (Workspace Admins only) | Remove from Project, Remove from Team |
You can only remove people from a project or team you coordinate. A Team Coordinator can’t remove people from a project, and a Project Coordinator can’t remove people from a team in a different project. If you choose one you can’t change, Cartographer tells you.
To remove several people from a project, start from one of its teams’ members lists (if they’re in a team) or remove them one at a time from the project’s list as described above.
What Happens When You Remove Someone#
- They lose their role in that project or team, and with it their access to its surveys and maps (unless they can still see them some other way, for example because the project is visible to the whole workspace).
- Their roles in other projects and teams are not affected.
- The surveys they recorded stay in the project.
Things to Know#
- Only current members can be removed this way. To cancel an invitation that hasn’t been accepted yet, use the Invitations tab instead.
- If you select more than 50 people, Cartographer asks you to confirm before it goes ahead.
- To change someone’s role rather than remove them, see Change an Existing Member's Role.
