# Remove Project Users

`DELETE /api/v1/vault/projects/{project_id}/users`

Removes direct workspace user shares for specified users (identified by email address) from a Vault project. Only direct `WORKSPACE_USER` shares are removed; inherited access via workspace, group, or space shares is not affected. Per-user validation failures (e.g. unknown email, inactive user, project owner, self-removal) are returned in the `failed` list rather than rejecting the entire request.

Requires vault sharing to be enabled.

## Path parameters

- `project_id` string, uuid, required

- object
