Managing user access overview
The admin panel allows admins to take actions like adding and removing users from workspaces, activating and deactivating users, and transferring base ownership.
Some organizations take these actions one after the other. For example, if a user leaves an organization, company admins frequently deactivate the user account and then transfer the user's workspaces to a new owner.

A collaborator's pop-up window will open, detailing all collaborators within your chosen base.
Click the ⌄ icon next to the collaborator's name you want to manage under the "Permissions" column.
Select your preferred permission for that collaborator.

Removing and deactivating users from workspaces and bases in Airtable

NOTE
Deactivating users and removing them from a base or workspace are different actions. Deactivating users prevents them from logging in to Airtable, while removing users only removes their existing workspace and base privileges—still allowing users to log into Airtable and create workspaces and bases.
