Kick Members

Authorized members with the appropriate permissions can remove other members from a school.

“Kicking” a member means:

The member is removed from the school.
The member loses access to all school groups and content.
The member is removed from the member list.
The member may be able to join the school again later.

Kicking a member does not permanently block them from the school.

If permanent restriction is required, see:
→ Ban Members

Who Can Kick Members?

Only roles with member management permissions can remove members.

These permissions are configured in the school’s role settings.

If you do not see the remove option, your role may not allow this action.
