Added to unknown spaces
Asked by Hector Th?gersen:

In short i have been added to some spaces that i do not recognize. It seems to be active, but i don't recognize who they are or the project they're working on.

I can't find an option to leave the team or do anything other than deleting the space entirely, which i could imagine would not be good for whoever's working in it.

Any help in getting out would be appreciated.

body: Thanks for the answers. I think i found out the issue.

So I'm accessing Atlassian from my school's network. When you are signed in and on the home page and click the 9 dot menu in the top right you get options to switch to a different product (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket etc.) This menu also seems to populate with teams you can "Join", how these teams got there i do not know but i assume that it might be because were on the same network.

I then clicked one of the teams which added me. I think it would be a good idea to allow me to leave somehow, but they seem to have kicked me, so everything worked out in the end.

Thanks ?

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!!!

I believe only an administrator can remove your access Confluence space.

You will need to find out who your administrator is if you don't already know and ask them to remove you from the spaces you no longer wish to be a part of.

**Steps to remove a user from confluence space:**

1. Log into Confluence and view the space from which you want to remove the user.
2. In the bottom-left corner of the browser window, click Space tools, then select Permissions.
3. In the **Individual Users** section (in the middle of the screen), click **Edit Permissions**.
4. On the line that shows the user you want to remove, click to remove every green check.
5. Repeat step 4 for additional users as needed.
6. Click Save All when you are finished.

I hope that helps!

Thanks,

Mayur

body: The weird part is I'm not part of an organisation. My account is registered to my personal Gmail. I'm a student and I'm not employed anywhere that uses any Atlassian products. I used Jira for a school project like 2 years ago.

As mentioned by Mayur, you can ask the space admin or site admin to remove you from the space, you might have got access to it via a group you are member of, which has been granted certain permissions to the space, in that case you need to get yourself removed from the group. Deleting the space is not a good idea ( do you have delete space permissions ? Only someone with space admin permissions can delete that space.)

body: From what i can see they're running the free version which gives all space members access to deleting a space, since you cannot manage space admin privileges with a free account afaik.

Also i can't seem to find any contact information on the space creator.

body: Oh yes, you are right with that. If you go to Space Settings -\> Overview, do you see "Created By" info there ?
