Keep the option enabled if you need to remove the teacher(s) from all existing classrooms. ![Remove Teachers from Google Classrooms](https://gatlabs.com/knowledge/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2026-03-18-19_02_06.png) Note that the system will remove the teacher from classrooms where they serve as co-teachers. This action will fail for courses owned by the teacher (for security reasons, so as not to orphan the class). ### Remove teacher(s) from specific Classrooms To select particular classrooms from which the (co)teaching role should be removed, deselect the **"Remove from all"** option to reveal the **"Remove from"** option. ![Remove Teachers from Google Classrooms](https://gatlabs.com/knowledge/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2026-03-18-19_03_52.png) This option enables you to manually define which classrooms you want the action to be executed for. Once ready, **Send approval request**. ## Security Officer verification The [Security Officer](https://gatlabs.com/knowledge/tech-tips/what-is-a-security-officer/) must approve the request for the workflow to proceed with the execution. All the existing Security Officers will receive an email that leads them to the approval page in GAT Flow. One of them needs to approve the request for the workflow to run. ![GAT Flow](https://gatlabs.com/knowledge/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Remove-teachers-5.png) They can review the request by clicking on the link from the email that brings them to the GAT Flow Approval tab in GAT Flow. ## Results Once launched, the action will remove the selected users from all or specific existing Google Classrooms, depending on the action setup.
