Feature availability

If you are an Administrator of a team, you can remove any member from your team—except yourself. Follow the steps below to remove members from your team.

Note: Administrators are not permitted to remove themselves from their team to ensure there is always at least one Administrator in a team. Only another Administrator from your team, or a member of the BioDigital team, can remove Administrators.

If you are the only Administrator on your team and must leave your team, you should 1) upgrade another team member to the Administrator role and then 2) ask them to remove you and transfer your content to them.

Finally, you will be asked to decide what you would like to do with any models the outgoing team members have previously shared in the Team section of My Library:

Note: This dialog will appear regardless of whether the user(s) have saved any content in the Team section of My Library.

 

Option 1: Transfer ownership to a different team member (recommended)

If you view your team's content as communal (i.e., they belong to your team as a whole rather than to the individual members), we recommend selecting the default option, Transfer ownership to a different team member.

This option will ensure that all models originally created for the team are retained by the team, as it will prompt you to transfer any and all content that the outgoing member previously saved to the "Team" section of My Library to another, active member of the team.

Warning: After you transfer their content to another member, the outgoing team member will no longer have access to these models in My Library.

To proceed with this selection, take the following steps:

  1. Click Remove.
  2. Click Select User to open a drop-down menu containing a list of your team's Administrators and Creators. Note: Content cannot be transferred to a Viewer.
  3. Select a new owner from the list (or feel free to select yourself).
  4. Click Transfer Content.

 

Option 2: Make private and remove from team

If you are sharing your team with students, you may not need or want to retain any content that the outgoing member previously saved to the "Team" section of My Library. If this is the case, you may want to select the second option, Make private and remove from team.

When this option is selected, the outgoing member retains all models they previously saved but removes them from the "Team" section of My Library.

Warning: After you make their content private and remove it from the team, only the outgoing team member will continue to have access to these models. The remaining team members will no longer have access to their models in My Library.

To proceed with this selection, simply click Remove.
