Use this interactive demo to learn how to remove a user from your Jira project settings.

Quick summary

This tutorial shows how to remove users from a Jira project using Project Settings and the Access panel. Project admins can revoke member access in just a few clicks without needing elevated Jira admin privileges.

Steps

Go to Project Settings on the top-right of your Jira project.
Select Access from the left sidebar to view project members.
Find the user you want to remove in the members list, then click the Remove button next to their name.
Click Remove again on the confirmation prompt to finalize and revoke the user's access.

📌 Why this matters

Managing who has access to your Jira projects is critical for maintaining security and keeping project data visible only to the right team members. The ability to quickly remove users from a Jira project through Project Settings reduces the risk of unauthorized access, especially when team members change roles or leave the organization. This feature gives project administrators direct control over member permissions without requiring full Jira admin rights, streamlining access management at the project level.
