Claiming account ownership

[Islam Abdullah]

Hello everyone, 

One of our team members has been offboarded from our organization and after he has left, we just discovered that his account access level is Org and site admin. 

My account is also admin, however, I am unable to remove him from the organization. He was using his personal email and when we have reached out to him, unfortunately, he is not willing to cooperate.

This is a very high risk as his access level can harm our production environment, therefore it is quite urgent to remove him as soon as possible.

I have been spending a quite long time trying to find a way to remove him, however, I have exhausted all options, so if anyone can put me in the right direction that would be highly appreciated.

Here is the reference number for the request which I have raised earlier for this issue. CA-1420643

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Islam Abdullah ,

As you've raised an issue with support that's perfect and the correct way to do it.

We as community volunteers won't be able to do anything on your instance itself so Atlassian (through your request will have to take a look).

I'll see if I can loop someone in through this question to give it maybe a bit more priority but I suggest viewing your request and following up there.

Hi @Dirk Ronsmans ,

Thanks for the feedback, unfortunately, the tech service team won't be able to assist further due to our account type. If I can get some guidance on how to deal with this issue I will be happy to do it myself. Thanks

I guess your account type is free maybe? The only thing I can think of is to create a new instance under a new site administrator and perform a migration.

Hello Islam,

My apologies for the frustration. We can attempt to contact the current org admin via a support ticket, so I've moved your CA ticket over to support so we can proceed with that.

Thank you for your understanding! We'll keep you updated via the ticket.

Take care,

Shannon
