Leave or dissolve a crew

As a member, officer or crew admin, you can leave your crew at any time. As owner, you first transfer ownership or dissolve the crew, so that no crew is left without an owner. Dissolving a crew is permanent.

Leaving a crew

1. Open My crew or the crew settings.

2. Choose Leave crew and confirm.

You leave the crew immediately and lose your role. At the same moment, your access to the channels in the crew chat ends. Rejoining follows the crew's normal rules.

If you're the owner

As owner, you can't simply leave the crew. First transfer ownership to a member, as described in Crew roles and leadership. You then become crew admin and can leave like everyone else. If you're alone in the crew or it should no longer exist, dissolve it.

Dissolving a crew

1. As owner, open the crew settings.

2. Choose Dissolve crew permanently.

3. Type the crew's slug to confirm.

When a crew is dissolved, the following happens:

• Every membership ends, and members are notified.

• Open applications and invitations are closed.

• The public profile disappears, and the name and slug become available again.

• The channels in the crew chat are archived. The messages stay stored, but the channels can no longer be opened.

• Dissolving can't be undone.

Good to know

• If you lead a crew with other members and want to delete your account, transfer ownership or dissolve the crew first. Only then can you request deletion under Data & account. A crew you lead alone is dissolved when your account is deleted.

• If crew leadership removes you, your membership ends immediately and you're notified.

• If the platform restricts a crew, it still exists: it disappears from the directory and recruitment, its public profile is hidden, and nobody can join it directly or send a new application. Members see the reason in their crew overview.
