To remove someone's access to a Google Sheet, follow these steps:
- Locate the Sheet: Find the specific Google Sheet in your Google Drive.
- Open the Sharing Settings: Open the sheet, and then click the "Share" button (usually found in the top right corner).
- Identify the Person: In the "Share with people and groups" section, find the name or email address of the person you want to remove.
- Change Permissions or Remove Access: To the right of the person's name, click the dropdown arrow. From the dropdown menu, you have two main options:
- Change Permissions: You can change their permission level from "Editor" to "Viewer" or "Commenter" instead of completely removing them.
- Remove Access: To completely remove them, select "Remove access" from the dropdown menu.
- Save Changes: Click "Save" to finalize the changes. The person will no longer have access to the Google Sheet.
Here's a table summarizing the steps:
Step | Action | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | Locate the Sheet | Find the Google Sheet in your Google Drive. |
2 | Open Sharing Settings | Click the "Share" button in the top right corner of the sheet. |
3 | Identify the Person | Find the person's name or email address in the sharing settings. |
4 | Change Permissions/Remove | Click the dropdown arrow next to their name and choose "Remove access". |
5 | Save Changes | Click "Save" to apply the changes. |
After saving, the person will immediately lose access to the sheet. They will no longer be able to open, view, comment, or edit the sheet, depending on their previous permission level.
