to unassign

Hi,

I have got a few questions about the verb "to unassign".
Which of the following sentences are ok?

(1) Technical writing:

(a) You will need to unassign the current moderator once you are back in the remote meeting.
(b) All unassigned tasks are highlighted red.
(c) Unassign as presenters any users who have had the presenter status for more than the specified time limit.

(2) Casual English
(a) He has requested to be unassigned as chief administrator asap.
(b) The President has unassigned Mr Smith and Ms Jones as his interior ministry advisers.

Thank you!
