There might be situations where you may need to leave your current Smartsheet account. You may need to leave it because you need to join another Smartsheet account. Whichever the case may be, you will ALWAYS need a System Admin to remove you from the account.   

If you're a non-licensed user, you'll be immediately removed from the organization. If you're a licensed user, your Sys Admin will receive your request to be removed; the Sys Admin must complete the process for you. 

Before You Begin

If you're a System Admin and would like to be removed from an account, reach out to another System Admin (or promote someone else to System Admin), and they'll be able to remove you with the steps provided in the Admin Center Overview article. Important: If you are a System Admin, you can't remove yourself from an account.
 
It may be beneficial to speak with the current System Admin on your plan to ensure you retain access to the sheets you own, items, and shared access. 


Request to be Removed from an Account

  1. Log in to your current account, and on the lower-left of the page, select the Account Icon > Plan Info

System Admin: When You Receive a Removal Request

You may receive an email message similar to the example below with a request for you to remove someone from the Smartsheet account that you manage.
