What its repository or workspace gives them stays. Takes the Admin role on the package. Returns everyone left with a role on it.

Over REST, name who in the query: `?username=dana` or `?team=platform`.

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`package`](/reference/mcp/#package) with `action` `remove_access`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`packages:write`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).
