Hi all,

&nbsp;

I'm trying to remove admin access to a user in a project from the Manage Project / Access project list. The documentation says I might need to restart the instance, which I did by using the Restart Server command in the Admin menu and I also restarted the vm Matillion runs on.

&nbsp;

The Admin check box always comes back for that user.

&nbsp;

Thanks.

JFS.

Hi [@JFS](https://matillioncommunity.discourse.group/u/JFS)​

I had a similar issue where I would uncheck a user's Admin access, click "OK" but when I went back to the Manage Project menu, the change wasn't reflected.

After a bit of digging around I released I had to first uncheck the Public Users checkbox and was then able to remove admin privileges as well as access to the project.

Hope this helps :)
