## Before Leaving

Consider the following before leaving an organization:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Reassign your work">
    If you have tasks or responsibilities, ensure they're handed off to another team member.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Export personal data">
    Download any data you need before leaving, as you won't have access afterward.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Notify team members">
    Let your colleagues know you're leaving so they can prepare.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Check other organizations">
    Ensure you have access to other organizations if needed for your work.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Permission Requirements

| Role       | Can Leave               |
| ---------- | ----------------------- |
| **Owner**  | Conditional (see below) |
| **Admin**  | Yes                     |
| **Member** | Yes                     |

### Owner Restrictions

<Warning>
  Organization Owners cannot leave until they transfer ownership to another Admin or Member.
</Warning>

If you're the only Owner:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Promote Another Member">
    Change another member's role to Admin or Owner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Transfer Ownership">
    Ensure the new Owner has full access.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Then Leave">
    You can now leave the organization.
  </Step>
</Steps>

***

## Rejoining an Organization

If you need to rejoin after leaving:

1. **Contact an Admin or Owner** of the organization
2. **Request a new invitation** to be sent to your email
3. **Accept the invitation** to rejoin

<Note>
  Your previous role and project access are not automatically restored. The Admin will need to set up your access again.
</Note>

***

## Alternative: Being Removed

Instead of leaving yourself, you can ask an Admin to remove you:

| Method                 | Who Initiates  |
| ---------------------- | -------------- |
| **Leave Organization** | You            |
| **Remove Member**      | Admin or Owner |

Both methods have the same result: you lose access to the organization.

***

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Leave button is disabled">
    You may be the only Owner. Promote another member to Owner first, then try again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Cannot find Leave Organization">
    Navigate to Settings → General and scroll down. The Leave Organization card is near the bottom.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Still seeing organization after leaving">
    Try refreshing your browser or logging out and back in. The organization should no longer appear.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Need to rejoin immediately">
    Contact an Admin or Owner of the organization to send you a new invitation.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
