Delete Member Accounts
Removing users from your organization does not delete their Bitwarden accounts. When a user is removed, all access to the organization and its data is cut off, however if they have a master password they will still be able to log in to their account and access any personally-owned items.
Depending on the particulars of your organization implementation, you may be able to use one of the following methods to delete a Bitwarden account that belongs to a removed member:
If you have a claimed domain, any users with account email addresses that have a matching domain (e.g.
jdoe@mycompany.com
) can be outright deleted by organization administrators, instead of only being able to be removed from the organization:Delete claimed accounts If you are self-hosting Bitwarden, an authorized administrator can delete the account from the System Administrator Portal.
If the account has an
@yourcompany.com
email address that your company controls, you can use this procedure to initiate and confirm deletion within the@yourcompany.com
inbox.
