How to remove a guest from Trello Board
Asked by Lizelle Coombs:

I want to remove guests (not members) from Trello Boards, but cannot find a button or instruction on how to do that. I can only find where to remove memebrs.

[https://help.trello.com/article/779-removing-a-member-from-a-board](https://help.trello.com/article/779-removing-a-member-from-a-board "https://help.trello.com/article/779-removing-a-member-from-a-board")

Note that you **click** (not right-click) on their avatar (at the top of the Board view) in order to get the pop-up menu with the "Remove from board..." choice.

It also works to click on the adjacent number-in-circle (Board Members list), and select the person from that list.

body: You have to upgrade to the premium account to have the 'remove' button displayed. you are not admin and don't have permission access if you are using a free account. There is a free-14 day trial for premium.

body: I was unable to remove a Guest using these directions. No "remove" option appeared.

I had to use the advice of community member Xiaoran Ching, below, to "click on the "share" button on the top right corner beside the horizontal list of "members" and "guests" avatars, select the dropdown and the "remove" option is in there."

select the dropdown and the "remove" option is in there.

body: I have the same issue, when trying to remove Guest, after clicking on guest avatar I have no option to Remove

body: Hello, This is how I have just removed **GUESTS** from a board, hopefully you can view the screenrecording from the link below:

Hope this helps as I thought that it was not that obvious at first.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by 'guest'? Do you mean observer?

author: Lizelle Coombs
body: Hi there - I ended up making the person a member and then removing the member...a quick fix but it worked...


author: Klaas
body: love the workaround - but it should not be necessary.


author: Klaas
body: I mean - we're 2 years down the road and it isn't fixed (yet).


author: Kevin Quarshie
body: Facing the same issue here. I'll try the add-to-remove quick-fix.


author: Iiro Kaksonen
body: The quick fix does not work.

1) from board's guest members -list i can press the remove button, the user disappears. When refreshing the page the user is back in the list. Browser's dev console says "unauthorized permission requested" but the UI does not show any error messages

2) i can press add to team -button. The user is moved to team members -list. I can press the remove user button from there -\> the user is back in guest members list.

I DONT WANT to pay any extra since this is buggy. I would purchase a license if this wouldn't be so buggy. Trello have been live like 10 years and I cant remove guest from my boards. I see that very big SECURITY RISK.

Please fix asap.

You need to choose a free trial and clean up the spaces.

Didn't find another way...
