Why can't I remove a particular user?

Removing a user from a Community or Project Manager team

This article applies to Team and Legacy editions.

The platform has a built-in safeguard for the removal of any Community or Project Manager teams. This was put in place to protect against the accidental event of an entire management team being removed. 

To remove a Community or Project Manager from your Community or Project, you'll simply need to move that user to a lower order team type (Internal Members, Participants, or Applicants).

Then, from their user summary, Team Management, or User Management, you'll be able to remove your user. 

Using the User Summary for Ad-Hoc Team Adjustments

If you know precisely which users whose teams you need to adjust, accessing their User Summaries directly is the easiest and most straightforward method.
