How to remove access of existing user

Hi,

This may sound pretty obvious, however, I do need help on this.

How do I remove access of an report user? It used to be pretty easy under Manage Permission. However, I couldn't find such option after  the 'new sharing experience'.

Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Pushkar

Once u click Manage permission option, u will get a window on the right side something like as shown below:

Click on the Advanced option.

U will get another window where u will be able to see something like this:

Select Direct access and scroll towards right. Except u being the owner u will see 3 dots on all the members whom u have shared the report. Click on those 3 dots and u will get to two options. Out of two option one is Remove Access.

Hope it helps u.

This doesn't work. It will remove the user from the users-who-have-access list; however, they still have access regardless of being on the list as having access or not. 

Hi Sushain,
I have removed access for user in the workspace and applied RLS. Still the user is able to view all the data.RLS is not working for that particular user.
I have given Read permissions for that user

Thank you @SushainKoul. It worked.

Your Welcome.
