Remove Members From Organizations

Learn how to remove members from Organizations directly using the Auth0 Dashboard or Management API.

You can remove members from organizations using either the Auth0 Dashboard or the Management API. Removing a user from an organization will remove only that user’s membership in the given organization; it will not remove the user from the connection or the Auth0 tenant. The removal process takes approximately 5 - 10 seconds.

Auth0 Dashboard

To remove a member via the Auth0 Dashboard:

1. Navigate to Auth0 Dashboard > Organizations, and select the organization for which you want to configure membership.
2. Select the Members view, locate the member you want to remove, and expand its More Options (…) menu.
3. Select Remove member, and confirm.

Management API

To remove members via the Management API: Make a DELETE call to the Delete Organization Members endpoint. Be sure to replace the ORG_ID, MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN, and USER_ID placeholder values with your organization ID, Management API Access Token, and user ID, respectively.

Find Your Auth0 Domain

If your Auth0 domain is your tenant name, your regional subdomain (unless your tenant is in the US region and was created before June 2020), plus .auth0.com. For example, if your tenant name were travel0, your Auth0 domain name would be travel0.us.auth0.com. (If your tenant were in the US and created before June 2020, then your domain name would be https://travel0.auth0.com.)

If you are using custom domains, this should be your custom domain name.

Value	Description
ORG_ID	ID of the organization for which you want to remove membership.
MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN	Access Token for the Management API with the scope delete:organization_members.
