Provided that you are an administrator, you have access to remove a member’s account from a public channel. In this article, we will share with you the techniques to remove someone from the slack channel.
How to Remove Someone From Slack Channel?
As mentioned above, you need to be the Workspace Owner or Admin to remove someone from the public channel. Likewise, it is up to Workspace owners and Org owners to provide access to the members to remove another person from the channel. Meanwhile, in a private channel, any member can remove others. We will look at the step-by-step guide to help you remove someone from the Slack channel.

As an alternative approach, you can even deactivate someone’s account in Slack. For that, you need to have a particular role in the workspace. Doing so will remove that user from the specific channel and the entire workspace. You get access to deactivate other members with specified admin or above roles. Below are the roles admins, owners, and primary owners can have in the Free, Pro, and Business+ plans.

Likely, the role is similar in the Enterprise Grid Plan. The Workspace Admins, Workspace Owners, and Workspace Primary Owner are replaced by Org Admins, Org Owners, and Org Primary Owner.
Deactivate Someone’s Account From the Slack Workspace

When you deactivate an account, it won’t notify the person. Instead, the person will be logged out across all devices. Meanwhile, the profile information of that member will not erase. Only the Primary Owner gets to delete it. After your slack account is deactivated, it is not possible for you to activate it back. But, you can get your account reactivated through an admin or owner. Also, you can activate someone’s deactivated account when you have administrative privileges. You can check the Slack support page for more details on reactivating the slack account.
