Removing a Member Account from Your Organization

Precautions

Before the organization administrator removes a member account from an organization or before a member account leaves an organization, it is important to know the following:

• The member account in question has to have been created more than seven calendar days ago.
• The account has to have been converted to a Huawei Cloud account. For details, see Converting Resource Accounts to Cloud Accounts.
• Invited accounts can be removed from or leave an organization only if they are Huawei Cloud accounts. For details, see Differences Between Resource Accounts and Huawei Cloud Accounts.
• A delegated administrator account cannot be removed from or leave an organization. You need to remove the delegated administrator first. For details, see Removing a Delegated Administrator.
• After an account created via Organizations leaves an organization, the IAM agency created by default during the creation of the account will not be automatically deleted. The organization management account can still use that agency to access data of member accounts. To prevent unauthorized access, you need to manually delete the agency. For details, see Deleting or Modifying Agencies.
• After an account created via Organizations leaves the organization, the accounting relationship between the account and the organization management account remains unchanged. After an account that was invited to join an organization leaves the organization, its original accounting relationship remains unchanged. For details about how to disassociate a member account, see Disassociating Member Accounts.
• After a member account leaves an organization, the permissions assigned by the organization policies will no longer apply. This means that the account may actually have more permissions than before. If you enabled trusted access for a cloud service, the account can no longer use the functions of that trusted service.
• When a member account leaves an organization, all tags attached to the account are deleted.

Leaving an Organization As a Member Account

When you sign in to a member account of an organization, you can choose to leave the organization. The management account cannot leave the organization using this method. To remove the management account, you must delete the organization by referring to Deleting an Organization.

Any account that is specified as a delegated administrator cannot leave an organization unless you remove the delegated administrator first, as described in Removing a Delegated Administrator.

1. Log in to Huawei Cloud as a member account, and navigate to the Organizations console.
2. On the Settings page, click Leave Organization. In the displayed dialog box, read and confirm you understand the risks, and then enter YES and click OK.
