## Access Eraser Widget Use Case

### Remove a Project Member That Left the Project

You're a project owner and a team member has left the project. Use the Access Eraser widget to remove the project permissions for the user who no longer requires access.

Open the widget settings and use the search criteria field to locate the team member you want to remove from the project. Select the team member and then mark the boxes for the groups and teams where they no longer need access.
