I created a Jira Organization for a school project so that I could easily collaborate with my team and the owner of the project. I have now graduated, and want to use Jira for my own side project, but I am stuck as Admin of the Org I created for that project. The owner of the project is continuing to work on it and as such will still be using the Jira boards and org for that, but I can't seem to remove myself from the Org. Is there a way I can unlink my account entirely from that Org?
Hello Kwolfe20,
Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!
Checking the details of your site, I can see that there are two administrators on the organization, and in order to remove you, the other admin must access the org and do that.
Please, ask Kap to go to admin.atlassian.com, select the Organization > Settings > Administrators and they will be able to remove you.
Please, give it a try and let us know if you face any issue.
Regards,
Angélica
Thanks! He said he had to change me to a regular user (instead of admin) first but that worked!

This is kind of nuts.
My account is now stuck within an organization I don't work for anymore and the admins are unresponsive. My account is enslaved by this organization, my requests for freedom have been ignored.

Agree with Patrick, this is bad user experience. I should be able to leave an organization on my own.

@Angélica Luz Please help! Like Patrick said, this is bad user experience to not be able to leave an organization on one's own.

This is both terrible UX and also a liability issue for both Atlassian and the vendor. What's to stop an ex-employee or ex-partner from leaking documentation or spamming the boards?

As a Consultant, I work on dozens of different engagements over the course of the year and that spans multiple organizations. I'm often just one of many technical consultants that gets added onto an instance to do work, but then once the engagement ends I'm often still attached as a site-admin for months or years to come. I don't necessarily have a relationship with the site ownership to request that I be removed. In many cases, these Organizations no longer even have a contract with our company, yet my access persists. When I navigate to atlassian.admin right now, I'm shown 11 separate organizations, only 4 of which are actually relevant to my current work. Yet I'm stuck with these old domains forever and ever and ever...
Yes, I too would very much like a way to remove myself from Orgs... that should based on their own security protocols should want me removed.
Share and Enjoy,
Jax

🤣 the title of the post says "Solved"
it is not solved at all from my perspective
> TODO: User can leave an organization voluntarily. Abolish this slavery
in 2023 users are still slaves from old workspace

Hi, would like to raise this issue again. I need to leave an organisation that I have no access to anymore (company defunct).
I am an EU citizen and according to GDPR mandates, I would like to remove my personal details from this organisation.
Please advise how I should proceed?
