# Leave Workspace

> Remove your own membership on this node

Removes the caller's own membership on **this node only** (self-service, no capability). Leaving a parent while still owning a child is fine — ownership is independent of membership. Fires `workspace.member.removed`.

<Note>
  An **owner** has no member row and cannot leave via this path — an owner exits by transferring ownership or deleting the workspace. Sole-owner protection blocks a sole owner from leaving without transferring first. If the caller has **no direct member row here** (only reaches in from an ancestor), leave is a no-op / 404.
</Note>

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  The workspace UUID.
</ParamField>

## Body Parameters

<ParamField body="userId" type="string">
  Service/master keys only — the user whose membership to remove (sent in the body so the act-as-user path works on `DELETE`).
</ParamField>

## Response

`204 No Content` on success.
