Introduction
Revoking administrator access demotes an organisation administrator back to a standard staff member. This removes their ability to manage organisation settings, invite users, and perform other administrative functions whilst maintaining their access to teams and patients.
Before You Start
- You must be an Organisation Administrator to revoke another user's administrator access
- You cannot revoke your own administrator access
- You'll need access to your registered phone number or email to complete the OTP (one-time password) verification
- The user being demoted must currently be an Organisation Administrator (not a system administrator)
Steps
-
From the sidebar, click My Organization
-
Click the Members tab to view all organisation members
-
Locate the administrator you want to demote in the members list. Look for users with the "Organization Admin" role label
-
Click the three-dot menu (⋮) at the end of that user's row to open the action menu
-
Select Demote from Organization Admin from the menu
-
A confirmation dialogue appears with the title "Confirm Demotion from Organization Admin". Review the message: "Are you sure you want to demote [First Name] [Last Name] to an organization member?"
-
Click the Yes button (shown in red) to proceed, or Cancel to abort the demotion
-
An OTP verification dialogue opens displaying: "Verification code sent to [your phone] and/or [your email]. You can use either one."
-
Check your phone (SMS) or email inbox for the verification code
-
Enter the verification code in the text input field
-
Click the submit button to complete the verification
-
The dialogue closes automatically and the members list refreshes. The user's role now displays as "Staff" instead of "Organization Admin"
Tips
- The verification code is sent to your contact details (the person performing the demotion), not the user being demoted
- You can use either the SMS code or the email code -- whichever arrives first
- If you enter an incorrect OTP code, a validation error will appear and you can try again
- The demotion is recorded in the organisation audit log (accessible via the Log tab)
- Demoted users retain all their existing team memberships and patient access -- only their administrative privileges are removed
- To restore administrator access later, use the Promote to Organization Admin option from the same user action menu
