Introduction
If you're an admin of a Gamma workspace, you can manage who has access to your workspace. This guide explains how to remove users who no longer need access, freeing up seats and leaving a workspace as a member.
Need to end someone's active sessions without removing them? Workspace admins can force sign out a member instead. This immediately signs them out of Gamma on web and mobile, with the option to also revoke their API keys and connected app access. The member keeps their account and content, and can sign in again right away. ➡️ Learn more about force sign out
What is Workspace User Management?
Workspace user management allows admins to control who has access to collaborate across gamma decks, sites, and projects.
🔷 Note: When you remove a member, you'll choose whether they lose access to everything in the workspace or keep access to the gammas they created or collaborate on directly. See the removal steps below.
How to Remove Users from Your Gamma Workspace
Step 1: Access Workspace Settings
Open your Gamma dashboard, then click the dropdown in the top-left corner of the screen. From there, select Settings.
Step 2: Go to the Members Tab
Within the workspace settings, click the Members tab to view the list of current workspace members.
Step 3: Remove the User
Find the user you want to remove, then click Remove from workspace next to their role. You'll be asked to choose one of two options:
Remove all access — they lose access to everything in the workspace, including gammas they created or are a named collaborator on.
Convert to guest — they're removed from the workspace but keep access to gammas they created or are a direct collaborator on. They lose access to everything else, including gammas they could only access through a folder.
🔷 Note: If you are an admin who uses a password to sign in, you'll be prompted to confirm your email prior to removing the workspace member. Admin who use Google or SSO to log into Gamma will not have to complete this confirmation step.
Confirm the removal!
How to Leave a Gamma Workspace (As a Member)
Step 1: Access Workspace Settings
Open your Gamma dashboard, then click the dropdown in the top-left corner of the screen. From there, select Settings & members.
Step 2: Go to the Members Tab
Within the workspace settings, click the Members tab to view the list of current workspace members.
Step 3: Remove Yourself
To remove yourself, find your email in the list, and click on the Member dropdown in the Role column.
Then select Leave workspace, and that's it - you're set!
🔷 Note: When you leave a workspace, you lose access to all gammas in it — including gammas you created or collaborated on. If you need to keep access to specific gammas, ask a workspace admin to remove you and choose Convert to guest instead.
FAQs & Common Issues
Why can't I remove a user?
You need admin privileges to add or remove users. If you’re not an admin, ask someone who is, or request to be made an admin under user roles.
Will removing a user delete their work?
No. Gammas they created stay in the workspace either way. What changes is their access: with Remove all access, they can no longer open or edit those gammas unless re-invited. With Convert to guest, they keep access to gammas they created or were directly invited to.
