WARNING
When you remove a team member or unnamed resource from a project, you also remove any related task assignments, scheduled hours, allocated hours, and other data. Be sure that you don’t need any of this information before removing someone from a project.
Overview
People can remove named and unnamed resources from projects via Resourcing areas of Kantata if they have access via the Resource Management Access Group to:
- View the Resource Center
- Edit named and/or unnamed resources
The Edit Resources permissions in Access Groups are based on Project Permission levels. The selections you make determine what project access an Access Group member needs in order to remove named or unnamed resources for different projects from within Resourcing areas:
- Their projects with financial permissions—Checked by default for all Access Groups, this option allows Access Group members to remove other members via the Resource Center from projects where they have View / Edit Financials or Project Administrator Project Permission levels.
- Their projects—This option allows Access Group members to remove other members via the Resource Center from any project they are participating in.
- Their projects and joinable projects—This option allows Access Group members to remove other members via the Resource Center from any project they are participating in as well as any projects that are Open to All Account Members.
-
All projects—This option allows Access Group members to remove other members from any project via the Resource Center.
Note: Accounts that have Organizations enabled do not have an All Projects option. That option is replaced by All projects accessible to their organization, which allows them to edit only named resources that are on projects in their organizations.
To remove resources in a project’s Resourcing tab, project members must have Project Permissions to Schedule Hours for Team.
How to Delete a Resource
- Navigate to a Resourcing area in Kantata OX:
- Projects > select a project > Resourcing
- Resourcing > Resource Center > Team Members
- Resourcing > Resource Center > Projects
- If you are in the Projects tab, locate the project you want and expand the project row to reveal the project's resources.
Tip: Before deleting a resource, make sure to reassign allocations and scheduled hours if there are any hours and task assignments that you plan to assign to someone else. Otherwise, those hours and assignments will also be deleted. - Inline with the resource you want to remove, click the More Note: If this is a named resource, you may see Remove from Project instead. If a named resource has multiple roles in the project, you will see the Delete Resource option until they only have a single project role.
icon, then select Delete Resource.

This article has been updated to include additional permissions information, a warning that hours and task assignments will also be deleted, and recommendation to leverage the reassign tools to move hours and tasks assignments prior to resource deletion.
