How you leave depends on your role.

**If you're a Member**, there's no leave button for you in the app, because Members don't see the **People** page. Ask an Owner or Admin of the organisation to remove you.

**If you're an Owner or an Admin**, you can remove yourself:

1. Switch to the organisation you want to leave, and check its name in the switcher.
2. Open **People** and find your own row. It's marked **You**.
3. Select **Remove**, then **Remove member** to confirm.

If you're the only Owner, there's no **Remove** button on your row, and the page says an organisation must keep at least one owner. Make someone else an Owner first: open their roles, tick **Owner**, and select **Save**. Then you can leave.

## What happens

You lose access to that organisation straight away: its buckets, its People and Roles pages if you had them, and any AI clients you'd connected to it. Your account and your other organisations aren't affected.

The organisation keeps its files, connections, and roles. What you did while you were a member stays in its [audit log](/docs/audit/overview/) for the usual 14 days.

There's no undo. To come back, someone has to [invite you again](/docs/access/invite-assign-remove/).
