Hi - I’m trying to remove a “Git Contributor”, but the “Options” drop down does not have the “Delete contributor” option as specified in the docs.
A screenshot is included. I tried the “Options” drop down from both the “Git Contributors” and the “Team members” areas.
Any suggestions?
I should also mention, since I was just testing things out, I have already removed the GitHub Authorized App, deleted the GitHub repository, and removed the Netlify site that was connected to the GitHub repo. Also, the GitHub repo was a private repo.
To remove an inactive Git Contributor, choose the Git Contributor you would like to remove and select Options > Delete contributor.
You can only delete inactive Git contributors. Your screenshot shows that the Git contributor triggered a successful build at Netlify six hours ago. That Git contributor isn’t inactive. They are an active Git contributor which is why they cannot be deleted.
Once this person has no longer triggered any successful build during the current billing cycle, then they can be deleted.
Resurrecting this thread because I have the same issue - does this mean I have to wait until my billing period ends and then pay for that Git contributor yet again before being able to delete them? Their last commit was 17 days ago. Our next billing period starts on the 25th.
Hey there! Let me clarify this for you! If a Git user triggers a deploy to Netlify, they become an “active” Git Contributor on Netlify for that current billing cycle. As you noted, they can not be deleted during that billing cycle. When the billing cycle ends, they are automatically changed to an “inactive” status. This inactive status means they will not be charged for, and can be deleted. They become active again if they trigger another deploy.
I hope this makes sense, happy to explain any follow-up questions you have!
