# Granting & revoking permission for an existing team member to manage a linked company
## Introduction
If you are a multi-company profile user with permission to manage another linked company (i.e. your own user account is associated with a [manager or administrator role](/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/roles-and-permissions-summary.md) and you have been granted permission to manage the company in question), you can grant and revoke permission for other team members to manage the same company.
## The steps

I want to revoke access
If you want to revoke existing access for a user, click the **delete** icon and then confirm this action:
