Remove a member

How can I remove a member from my Tallyfy organization?

This comprehensive guide explains how administrators can safely remove a member from your Tallyfy organization while managing their existing responsibilities.

Important deletion constraints

Before attempting to remove a member, understand these system requirements:

Two-step deletion process

Tallyfy requires members to be disabled first before permanent deletion. This safety mechanism prevents accidental data loss and ensures proper task reassignment.

Administrator protection rules

  • Default Administrator: The member designated as default administrator cannot be removed until you transfer this role to another administrator. Navigate to Organization Settings and assign a different member as default administrator first.
  • Last Administrator: You cannot remove the last administrator in your organization. Promote another member to administrator role before attempting removal.
  • Protected Accounts: System accounts like “Tallyfy Bot” cannot be removed as they handle automated processes.

Common deletion blockers

If you’re unable to remove a member, check:

  1. Is the member already disabled? Check their status in the Members list
  2. Is this the default administrator? Look for the “Default Admin” badge
  3. Is this your only administrator? Verify you have another active admin
  4. Are there pending task reassignments? Complete all reassignment dialogs

For detailed solutions, see our troubleshooting guide.

  1. Navigate to your Settings panel.

  2. Select Organization, then choose Members.

  3. Click the name of the specific member you wish to remove.

  4. Scroll down through their profile and click Deactivate Member.

    Click Deactivate Member in profile

How does task reassignment work during member removal?

When you deactivate a member, Tallyfy automatically helps reassign their pending tasks and any template steps currently assigned to them. This critical process prevents work from being lost or forgotten.

Tallyfy will prompt you to select another active member to take over these responsibilities:

Conflict resolution prompt for task reassignment

After you successfully reassign all items, you’ll receive a confirmation message that the member has been completely removed from your organization.

How can I check who removed a member from Tallyfy?

You can determine who deactivated a specific member by viewing the deactivated member’s profile (locate them in the Members list, possibly using available filters) and checking the Activity section located near the bottom of their profile.
