Removing Users from Organizations

An organization owner can remove members and other owners of the organization using the web UI or the CLI.

Please select either the web UI or CLI tab to see the appropriate instructions for your environment.

Prerequisites

Before removing users via the web UI, ensure you have:

  • Organization owner permissions

Removing Existing Users from the Organization

  1. Log into your Fuzzball UI as an organization owner

  2. Click on the Gear icon in the top right of the dashboard header and select Manage organization

    Manage organization menu

  3. Navigate to the Users section in the left toolbar

    User added to members list

  4. Select “Delete user” from the kebob menu of the user you wish to remove from the organization members or owners tab. In our case, user2@ciq.com is a Member of the organization:

    Delete user

  5. After confirming, the user will be removed from the list of Members

    Users section

Prerequisites

  • Fuzzball CLI installed
  • Active CLI context for a Fuzzball user configured as an owner for the Fuzzball organization to be managed.

Removing Users from the Organization

Members and owners of an organization are removed with the remove-owner and remove-member commands, respectively. Both require the ID of the user to be removed. For example, to remove the user2@ciq.com member added in the user management section we first obtain their ID like so:

$ fuzzball organization list-members
NAME          | ID                                   | CREATED TIME          | LAST UPDATED          | LAST ACTIVE
user2@ciq.com | 41a6f21f-19ec-471d-ae9e-edffc50c58f6 | 2026-02-23 08:39:08PM | 2026-02-23 08:39:08PM | 2026-02-23 08:39:08PM
user4@ciq.com | eb9bf66e-5914-4e61-b5f9-ff1d1ca3bf05 | 2026-02-23 08:39:12PM | 2026-02-23 08:39:12PM | 2026-02-23 08:39:12PM

The user can then be removed. Successful removal is indicated by the return of an empty JSON object.

$ fuzzball organization remove-member 41a6f21f-19ec-471d-ae9e-edffc50c58f6
{}

Rerunning fuzzball organization list-members confirms user2@ciq.com has been removed as an organization member.

$ fuzzball organization list-members
NAME          | ID                                   | CREATED TIME          | LAST UPDATED          | LAST ACTIVE
user4@ciq.com | eb9bf66e-5914-4e61-b5f9-ff1d1ca3bf05 | 2026-02-23 08:39:12PM | 2026-02-23 08:39:12PM | 2026-02-23 08:39:12PM

An organization owner can be removed from an organization using the Fuzzball organization remove-owner subcommand.
