Shared by Policy - Can't remove myself from a Shared Folder

Question

Somehow the folders below have been shared with me, and they all say Shared by Policy under each one. Other users do not have this. The problem is one of the shared folders contains sites and passwords that do not belong to me... so I keep getting logged into sites as someone else.

What does Shared by Policy mean?

And how do I remove myself?

Hello @mrpaulwass,

My name is Henry Eduardo and I am happy to assist with your inquiry, and appreciate you contacting LastPass Support!

I am sorry about the issues you are having with your account. When you see the message"Shared by policy" it is referring to the policyPermit super admins to access shared folders.If you are added to that policy then it will automatically add you as an administrator of the shared folders within your business or teams account.

Please verify that your account is not a Super Admin, if not a super admin please ask another of the administrators to remove you from the shared folder.

Please let me know if this worked or if further assistance is required.

Thank you,
Henry Eduardo | Customer Care

Thank you, that helps a lot.

I will work with another Super Admin to have myself removed from the Super Admin group.
