User management has been expanded to include the ability to remove user permissions from an account. If you wish to remove a user from accessing a particular account within Lens, first change the account selector to the account you want to manage, navigate to the user management section, select the desired user you wish to remove from an account, and hit “Delete User”. That user will no longer be able to access that particular account anymore.
