Hello.

I just want to delete a user from a Jira project but not from the organization. I have a free Jira Cloud instance.

And I'm a bit overwhelmed with the whole Jira ecosystem. I asked ChatGPT and Googled etc. How hard can it be to delete a f*****g user?!

Any help appreciated! :)

Hello @Benedikt 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Can you clarify what you expect would happen if you were successful in deleting the user from the Jira project but not from the Organization?

Do you expect them to still have access to the other Jira projects in the same Jira instance, just not access to that one project?

If that is your goal, you cannot do that with the Free Jira subscription. All users granted access to the Jira product have the equivalent of Jira Project Administrator access in all Jira projects. You cannot prevent their access to selected projects. This is by design as you cannot customize permissions in the Free subscription. Refer to:

What is the Free Jira Plan?

If your goal is something different, please explain and we will address that.

Hi @Trudy Claspill. Thank you, I suspected sth like that. It would be really practical if Jira just showed all the options but then disables them with some icon indicating that it is a premium feature. Then everybody would get the same layout and could quickly understand why they don't have certain options...
