# Remove a member from the team

```http
DELETE https://secure.yoprint.com/v1/api/store/{team_slug}/setting/user/{hash_id}
```

- API version: v1
- Operation ID: `v1_public_user_destroy`
- Section: Team settings › [Team members](https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/team-members.md)
- Web page: https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/team-members/v1-user-destroy/
- Authentication: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`

Takes a person off the team. Their access to this team ends at once, including through their API keys and AI apps. Their YoPrint account stays, and so does everything they created or did on the team.

The team owner can't be removed: transfer ownership first.

## Permission

Needs the Manage Settings permission. The team owner always has it.

## Business rules

- The owner can't be removed (403 `owner_cannot_be_removed`).
- Nothing stops you from removing yourself; you lose access to the team at once. AI apps can't remove their own person.

## Side effects

- Their permission group on this team is cleared.
- Team members who have YoPrint open see them disappear at once.

## Path parameters

- `team_slug` (string, required): Your team slug, shown as Team ID next to your API key in Profile. Example `your-team`.
- `hash_id` (string, required): The team member, from the member list. Its hash id from an earlier answer; there is no unique key for it. Example `E6LjYJJimQNFVF`.

## Request body

This operation takes no request body.

### Example request

```bash
curl -X DELETE 'https://secure.yoprint.com/v1/api/store/your-team/setting/user/E6LjYJJimQNFVF' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  -H 'X-Yoprint-Decimal-Format: exact-v1'
```

## Response

`200` Successful response.

Fields:

- `data` (null, required)
- `status` (integer, required)
- `success` (boolean, required)

Example response:

```json
{
  "data": null,
  "status": 200,
  "success": true
}
```

## Errors

- `401` The API key is missing or wrong (`unauthenticated`).
- `403` You are not allowed to do this. `api_access_not_in_plan`: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only `{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}`. Other refusals use the error envelope, with `unauthorized` or `user_is_not_authorized`.
  - When: The person is the team owner: `error.code` `owner_cannot_be_removed`, "The team owner cannot be removed. Transfer ownership first." Nothing changes. Fix: Transfer ownership to someone else first.
  - When: Your role lacks Manage Settings. The body is `{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}`, without the error envelope. Fix: Use the key of a member whose role has Manage Settings, or the owner's.
- `404` Not found. `page_not_found`: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's. `code: null`, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.
  - When: The person is not on this team. Fix: Use an id from the members list.
