# Remove a member

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. [InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/core/) is the latest stable version.

#### API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — **capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade**.

For more information, see [Token hashing](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing).

Use the InfluxDB user interface (UI) or the `influx` command line interface (CLI) to remove a member from an organization.

Removing a member from an organization removes all permissions associated with the organization, but it does not delete the user from the system entirely. For information about deleting a user from InfluxDB, see [Delete a user](/influxdb/v2/admin/users/delete-user/).

## Remove a member from an organization in the InfluxDB UI

1. In the navigation menu on the left, click your **Account avatar** and select **Members**.
    
    u
    
    u
    
    username
    
    org-name
    
2. Click the icon next to the member you want to delete.
    
3. Click **Delete** to confirm and remove the user from the organization.
    

## Remove a member from an organization using the influx CLI

Use the [`influx org members remove` command](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/org/members/remove) to remove a member from an organization. Removing a member requires the following:

-   The organization name or ID *(provided in the output of [`influx org list`](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/org/list/))*
-   The member ID *(provided in the output of [`influx org members list`](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/org/members/list/))*

```sh
# Syntax
influx org members remove -o <member-id> -i <organization-id>

# Example
influx org members remove -o 00xXx0x00xXX0000 -i x0xXXXx00x0x000X
```
