Remove Your Access to Resources

If you no longer need access to a resource—such as membership in a group or assignment to a Management Role—you can request its removal from the IAM Shop. EmpowerID allows you to manage your own access in a secure, auditable way by submitting a revocation request through the portal.

Before You Begin​

What You Can Remove

You can request to remove any access that appears under your Manage Access tab, including:

  • Group memberships
  • Business Roles
  • Management Roles
  • Application access
  • And more, depending on your permissions

You must be authorized to manage your own access for this action to appear.

  1. Navigate to your organization’s IAM Shop portal and log in.
  2. In the IT Shop, select the appropriate resource type from the filter (e.g., Groups if you want to leave a group).
  3. Click the Manage Access tab. You’ll see a list of resources currently assigned to you for that resource type.
