Both sets of rows are removed atomically. The request is idempotent: a retry, or a well-formed user ID with no matching membership rows, returns `200` with `group_membership_removed: false` and `website_memberships_removed: 0`. Organization membership, membership in other groups, and website membership outside this group are preserved. If another group grants access to one of the same websites, that effective access remains through the other group even though the user's explicit website membership row is removed. Organization members return `409` because their organization-derived access would remain. Requires a global API key, and the API key's own user cannot be removed. The endpoint accepts no request body. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json delete /api/v1/groups/{group_id}/members/{user_id} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: AthenaHQ API description: >- AthenaHQ API provides programmatic access to manage your websites and prompts for AI-powered content optimization. version: 1.0.0 contact: email: support@athenahq.ai servers: - url: https://api.athenahq.ai description: Production server security: - apiKey: [] tags: - name: Basics description: Core API operations for managing websites and prompts - name: Metrics description: Metrics and analytics endpoints for tracking AI visibility - name: Billing description: Billing and credits endpoints for managing usage - name: Team Management description: Endpoints for managing team members and invitations - name: Groups description: Endpoints for managing groups of websites - name: Content description: >- Endpoints for accessing Content Hub data — tabs, tracked URLs, and per-URL prompt breakdowns. - name: Pitch Workspace description: >- Endpoints for accessing pitch workspace reports — org-scoped pitch runs with competitors, prompts, attributes, and aggregate metrics. - name: Knowledge Base description: >- Endpoints for reading the brand Knowledge Base — approved brand facts and the pillars that organize them. paths: /api/v1/groups/{group_id}/members/{user_id}: parameters: - name: group_id in: path required: true schema: type: string format: uuid description: The unique identifier of the group - name: user_id in: path required: true schema: type: string format: uuid description: The unique identifier of the target user delete: tags: - Team Management summary: Remove Group Member Access description: >- Removes a user's direct group membership and their explicit website memberships for websites currently in the group.
