Leave or disband an organization

The Danger zone on the Organization page lets a member leave and an admin disband the organization. Both need the organization's name typed in. This page says what each one does to people and QuickBooks companies.

  • DashboardAvailable

At the bottom of a shared organization's page is a card called Danger zone. It is not there for a personal organization, nor for an organization with only one member.

Leaving: the card asks for the organization's name.
The Danger zone card for a member who pressed Leave organization. A pink box says You're about to leave Northgate Partners. You'll be back in your personal organization. Companies stay with Northgate Partners; your own companies come back. A box with the organization name typed in, a Leave organization button and a Cancel button.

Leave

Every member can leave, admins included.

  • The person goes back to their personal organization and a personal free account. Their seat is handed back.
  • "Companies stay with Northgate Partners; your own companies come back." Companies the organization owns stay with it. Companies the person kept in their own portfolio return to them.
  • What they already used stays on the organization's record.
  • The only admin cannot leave. The card shows "This is the organization's only admin — promote another member first". Make someone else an admin in Members and roles, or disband.

Disband (admins only)

Disbanding closes the organization for everybody.

Disbanding: the card asks for the organization's name.
The Danger zone card for an admin who pressed Disband organization. A pink box says You're about to disband Northgate Partners and remove every member. Its QuickBooks companies move to your personal organization. A box with the organization name typed in, a Disband organization button and a Cancel button.
  • Every member goes back to a personal free account.
  • The organization's QuickBooks companies move to the personal organization of the admin who disbands.
  • Its usage history is kept for billing. Nobody can rejoin it.

Steps

  1. Press Leave organization or Disband organization

    The card explains what will happen.

  2. Type the organization's name

    Type it exactly as shown, with the same capital letters. The confirm button stays disabled until it matches. Cancel closes the card with nothing changed.

  3. Press the button again

    The page changes to the person's personal organization.

Disbanding cannot be undone

There is no way to reopen a disbanded organization. The members would need to be invited into a new one.
