✂️Remove Signers

Removing existing Signers from a Safe.

Safe Signers may need to revoke access for an existing Signer who is no longer affiliated with the organisation and no longer requires access to the Safe.

Follow these steps to remove a Signer from your Safe:

Step 1: Select Signer to remove

Navigate to the Accounts section. Select the appropriate Safe, and go to the Safe Signers section, where the list of Signers is displayed.

Click the Delete icon (red trash bin within the red square in the screenshot) next to the Signer address to be removed.

Step 2: Confirm removal details and adjust the threshold

A page will appear, showing the address to be eliminated. Carefully review the information.

Adjust the threshold at this stage, as removing Signers will affect the total number of Safe Signers.

After confirming the details, click Create Proposal to initiate the removal process.

Step 3: Action on Proposal

Signers can take one of three actions on a proposal:

  • Proposal Rejection- If any Safe Signer rejects the proposal, it will be discarded Off-Chain.

  • Proposal Approval and Execution- If the number of votes in favor of the proposal meets Safe's required threshold, the transaction will be carried out, and the selected Signer will be subsequently removed from the Safe.

  • On-Chain Transaction Rejection- Even after a proposal has been approved, it can still be turned down in the on-chain stage. This can happen if a Safe Signer initially approves the proposal, moving it into the on-chain queue, but other Safe Signers decide to use the On-Chain Rejection option to stop the transaction.
