# Remove a member from the account

`DELETE /accounts/{account}/members/{member}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.factuarea.com/v1`
- URL: `https://api.factuarea.com/v1/accounts/{account}/members/{member}`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`

Remove a member from the WHOLE account: it loses every grant, session and API-key scope there. Irreversible.
- To remove access to one tax ID, revoke that grant instead. Returns 204.
- 422 `member_is_last_owner` for the owner (transfer ownership first); 422 `business_rule_violation` when removing yourself.
- 404 `member_not_found` if unknown or of another account. Requires the `members:write` scope, which `*` does not cover: the API key must list it explicitly.

## Path parameters

- `account` string, uuid, required
- `member` string, uuid, required

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string, required
- `Factuarea-Version` string, date

## Response `204`

No content

## Other responses

- `400`: `parameter_unknown` with `subcode` `retired_active_profile_header`: the retired `X-Active-Profile` header was sent; the company goes in the path. `parameter_invalid_format` on `Factuarea-Version`: the header is not a `YYYY-MM-DD` date. `unsupported_api_version`: the `Factuarea-Version` date is not a supported version.
- `401`: Missing or invalid API key.
- `403`: The request is authenticated but not allowed: the API key lacks the required scope (`insufficient_scope`), the plan does not include the public API or this feature (`addon_not_active`, `feature_not_available_in_plan`), or the module is not available with a test key (`module_not_available_in_sandbox`).
- `404`: The requested resource does not exist or belongs to another company. `account_not_found`: the account in the path does not exist or is not the account of the API key.
- `422`: Validation failed — e.g. the API key plan limit was reached, or an invoice language outside the allowed catalog (`es`, `en`, `ca`). The `error.param` field identifies which input is invalid, if any. `idempotency_key_reused`: the `Idempotency-Key` was already used with a different body; send a new key or the same body. `invalid_param_format` on `Idempotency-Key`: the key must be 1 to 255 printable ASCII characters. `idempotency_key_required`: this operation requires the `Idempotency-Key` header; the message names the rejected operation.
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded. Retry after the duration in `Retry-After`.
- `500`: Unexpected server error.
