If you need to limit a member's access to a workspace, you might want to remove their access. While this might sound similar to deleting a member from an organization, the two are two different actions. Here is everything you need to know about removing a member's access to a workspace.

👀 Removing a member's access to a workspace, as the name suggests, only affects the member's access to the specific workspace. Once their access is removed, they will no longer be able to view, edit, or contribute to the workspace content. However, they will remain a member of the overall organization and will have access to any other workspaces they may be a part of.

⚠️ On the other hand, when deleting a member from the organization, the member is completely removed from the organization and will no longer have access to any workspaces or organization content. This action cannot be undone, and it is recommended that you only delete a member if you are certain they no longer need any access to the organization's content.

🚨 Note: You will NOT be able to remove a member from a Workspace if this user is only invited to one Workspace, You need to add another workspace to this user or delete him from your organization.

Access to workspaces depends on the role of the member:
