Member Revocation Guide
Suggest an editPrerequisites
- An existing team with members to revoke
- Web Companion paired with mobile app
- Enough remaining members to meet threshold requirements after revocation
Warning
Member revocation is permanent. Revoked members lose all access to team operations and cannot participate in threshold approvals. Ensure you have enough remaining members to meet your team's threshold requirements before proceeding.
Select Members to Revoke
1 Choose Members
In the members table:
- Use the checkboxes to select one or more members
- Selected members are highlighted
- A bulk action bar appears at the bottom of the screen
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Member’s email address | |
| Shares | Number of shares held by this member |
| Accepted | Whether the member has accepted their membership |
| Added | When the member was added to the team |
2 Review Selection
Before proceeding, verify:
- You’ve selected the correct members
- Remaining members can still meet the threshold
- You understand the consequences of revocation
Confirm Revocation
1 Initiate Revocation
With members selected:
- Click the Revoke button in the bulk action bar
- A confirmation dialog appears
- The dialog shows how many members will be revoked
2 Understand the Consequences
The confirmation dialog explains:
- Revoked members immediately lose team access
- Their shares become invalid
- They cannot participate in future threshold operations
- This action cannot be undone
3 Submit for Approval
- Click Confirm in the dialog
- A threshold proposal is created
- Remaining team members must approve the revocation
Note
Revocation requires threshold approval from remaining members. The member being revoked cannot vote on their own revocation.
Approval Process
1 Threshold Approval
After submitting:
- Remaining team members receive a notification
- They must approve the revocation on their mobile devices
- Once threshold is reached, revocation takes effect immediately
2 Monitor Progress
The roundtrip page shows:
- Which members have approved
- Which are still pending
- Overall revocation status
After Revocation
1 What Happens to Revoked Members
Once revocation is complete:
| Aspect | Effect |
|---|---|
| Team Access | Immediately revoked |
| Shares | Deleted from their device |
| Voting Rights | Cannot participate in team operations |
| Notifications | No longer receive team notifications |
| Mobile App | Team disappears from their team list |
2 Team Threshold
After revocation:
- Threshold requirements remain the same
- Ensure remaining members can still reach threshold
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| “Cannot revoke” error | Would leave team below threshold | Keep enough members to meet threshold requirements |
| Revocation stuck at “Waiting” | Remaining members haven’t approved | Contact remaining members to approve |
| Member still shows in list | Revocation not yet complete | Wait for threshold approval to complete |
