I got an email notification from a 2 year old project from a company where I no longer work.
How do I leave the project/company so I'm no longer associated with it?
@Jim Gay
It sounds like the company did not disable your account in their JIRA environment.
I would not think they would want you logging into their environment for security reasons. I would suggest giving their help desk a call and have them deactivate the account.
*Someone missed a step in the off-boarding process*
Yes, @Jonathan Smith is absolutely correct. A Jira/Confluence admin needs to remove or deactivate you from Jira/Confluence.
You should contact them and ask them to deactivate your user.
Was this an Atlassian Cloud instance? If yes you can send them this Documentation page and point to "Deactivate or delete users".

That's... unfortunate. I can access my account, I can update information, I can interact in the environment, but I can't disassociate my email from their system?
No, the company's Confluence/JIRA admin needs to deactivate your account. Give them a quick call or email to complete that task.
I wouldn't @mention the admin in the environment because that will definitely expose the security hole.
*no raise for that person*
Is there a feature request area somewhere? I'm in the same boat. Surely I must be allowed to exit of my own accord?
Yeah, it makes zero sense that someone else would have control over what groups I'm in.
Same situation here. I've been added to 3rd party Jira instances, and now I can't leave.
Same issue here. I'm suddenly part of the tempoplugin.jira.com instance, without any ability to leave.
I'm filing a GDPR complaint.
Is it public? I would like to support it or create another one myself
There are plenty of similar topics like this on the forum and on which topic community leaders answer the same - "Admin should remove you from the board". Why It's so hard to add one simple feature? I want to leave myself, I don't want to waste time asking smb, waiting and bla bla bla. You have to listen to your customers, but what I see you just close and suspend similar topics on the forum, like this one - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/How-to-leave-Jira-board/qaq-p/1269923. Just add this simple button It's not a big deal.
Nothing wrong with wanting to leave, and very very much so "I've left, stop mailing/chatting/tellling me about updates I don't have a need to care about any more".But.We all have to work within regulated industries and the legal stuff gets complex. Where I work, it is howling illegal to track individuals without their consent, but ten times more howling illegal for individuals not to be tracked while doing their job.It is a huge deal to "leave a board" when you have signed up to be tracked by that board.Whatever you are thinking of doing here, PLEASE, go talk to a lawyer first. "Just add a simple button" is completely illegal in almost every country.
Please, do share. A lot of us would be interested, individuals, partners, and probably Atlassian too.
What? Illegal to add a button which allows users to leave boards? Which rules does this btn break, could you please add some hyperlinks? I’m just really interested to investigate this topic, because I’m struggling of that a lot. I have an old project board and in my mobile Jira app I always get notifications and updates from this board ( I can’t turn off notifications, because I have other boards), also when I switch between boards I often miss clicks and open the wrong old board, it’s SOOO annoying. I can’t contact my previous customer and ask for removing myself. Even if I have such an option, I don’t wanna waste my time.
Throw a rock at your local tax authorities or industry regulators. Ask them what the requirements for an audit of "who did what when" are.
I dont work I want to left laeve Atlassian
