Difficult to leave a space in which you are an admin

Description

I've noticed that it is still relatively difficult UI-wise to leave a space.
Currently, you have to go into Space Settings, and find the "Leave Space" button.

I would like there to be a "Leave Space" button at the bottom of the Space right-click menu similar to the room one shown below:

There is, except not for admins.

Admins have to leave in Space Settings, non-Admins don't see Settings and they get a Leave interaction instead.

Hm, okay. That's not exactly clear, and I have left rooms as admin before.
There is a lack of consistency here that is a bit confusing to me since I haven't used Spaces that much.

[t3chguy]

Its more to discourage admins leaving spaces without proper intent as it is quite likely an irreversible action which may leave a Space completely admin-less and unremovable.

Maybe the warning dialogue could be different for admins?
For example, it could say, "Warning: You are an admin of this space. do you really want to leave?"

A similar problem exists for rooms- no one can administrate a room if all the admins leave.

We identified an Admin leaving a space to be a very rare action so it didn't need to be exposed on the quick actions menu.

Yup, we are experimenting with this show-relevant-quick-actions approach with Spaces, it'll likely not be iterated without proper user testing

[fbushstone]

This is my preference, but I defintely prefer warning dialogues such as those that pop up when trying to leave a room rather than hiding an option completely. I had incorrectly assumed that it was impossible to leave a space until digging a little deeper in settings.

I like to think of myself as a fairly tech-saavy person. If I'm confused by this, the average user may just throw their hands up and give up.

FTR Room Settings also has Leave Room option, only change is that the Quick Actions are not exhaustive and are scoped to be more relevant to the actions you are likely to take so that it doesn't turn into a list of ~10 options.

Do you expect the Invite people option to be available even if you don't have permission which just errors for consistency?

[fbushstone]

No, since there is an "Invite to this Space" button in the right panel.

Closing as this is now fixed:

This is not fixed, spaces in which you are an admin still hide the 'leave' option from menus
