Managers/admins can also remove access from their team members’ accounts (from the **My Team’s Access** view). **Where it happens:** The **View Entitlements** panel, reached from **Manage Access → Team Access** (/access-hub/access/team-access). Removing access is different from [cancelling a request](/home/docs/06-cancel-a-request): cancelling withdraws a *pending request*; removing takes away access you’ve *already been granted*. ## Step by step 1. Open your access: **Manage Access → Team Access** (or the **View My Access** quick action). See [View Your Access](/home/docs/07-view-your-access) for the full tour. 2. *(Managers only)* If you’re removing access for a team member, switch the toggle to **My Team’s Access**. 3. On the relevant application card, click **View Entitlements**. 4. In the **View Entitlements** panel, remove access one of two ways: - **Remove a single entitlement** - Open the **Actions** menu (the ⋮ icon) on that row and choose **Remove**. - **Remove several at once** - Tick the checkboxes for the entitlements you want to remove, then click **Remove Access**. 1. A confirmation dialog appears — **“Remove Access” / “Are you sure you want to remove access to the selected entitlements?”** (or “…to this entitlement?” for a single item). Confirm to proceed. 2. You’ll see a **“Removing access…”** indicator, then the list refreshes with the entitlement(s) gone. ## What can and can’t be removed Not every entitlement can be self-removed. An entitlement is removable only when it can be de-provisioned and isn’t **read-only** or a **base/default** entitlement. If you select something that can’t be removed, Access Hub warns you — **“One or more selected entitlements cannot be removed.”** — and removes only the eligible ones (or nothing, if you picked a single ineligible item). For access you can’t remove yourself (base access, read-only grants, or anything provisioned by a rule), contact your administrator. ## What happens next - The selected access is de-provisioned from the account. - The entitlement disappears from the access list after the panel refreshes. - Changed your mind? Removal isn’t undoable from here — to get the access back, request it again via [Request Access](/home/docs/01-request-access-for-yourself-end-user) (or re-request it from the access view, [Re-request or Renew Access](/home/docs/09-re-request-or-renew-access)). ## Tips & troubleshooting - **The Remove option is missing.** That entitlement isn’t eligible for self-removal (read-only, base/default, or not de-provisionable). Ask an admin. - **I removed the wrong thing.** Submit a new request to restore it. - **I only want to stop a request that hasn’t been approved yet.** Use [Cancel a Request](/home/docs/06-cancel-a-request) instead. *Related:* [*Overview*](/home/docs/00-access-hub-overview) *·* [*View your access*](/home/docs/07-view-your-access) ## 📹 Visual walkthrough A short, captioned screen recording of this flow (each step highlights the control that’s clicked): [Video](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/clip-08-access-removed.mp4?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FmvTG%2B5qSJ5IfnSjwV972W1cZD6%2BYgV7OmEzWxV7oak%3D) **Step by step:** ![Open My Access](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/08-remove-access-image-ewdqoup6.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FmvTG%2B5qSJ5IfnSjwV972W1cZD6%2BYgV7OmEzWxV7oak%3D) *Open My Access* ![Open the Entitlements](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/08-remove-access-image-w5mxwfre.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FmvTG%2B5qSJ5IfnSjwV972W1cZD6%2BYgV7OmEzWxV7oak%3D) *Open the Entitlements* ![Open Actions and Choose Remove](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/08-remove-access-image-jwfx2vji.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FmvTG%2B5qSJ5IfnSjwV972W1cZD6%2BYgV7OmEzWxV7oak%3D) *Open Actions and Choose Remove* ![Confirm the Removal](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/08-remove-access-image-1q5j3ut0.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FmvTG%2B5qSJ5IfnSjwV972W1cZD6%2BYgV7OmEzWxV7oak%3D) *Confirm the Removal* ![Access Removed](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/08-remove-access-image-msdkp4y8.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T07%3A16%3A03Z&se=2026-10-27T08%3A16%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=FmvTG%2B5qSJ5IfnSjwV972W1cZD6%2BYgV7OmEzWxV7oak%3D) *Access Removed*
