3.6 Deactivate And Delete Users
Admins and Access Managers have the choice of either deactivating or deleting passive users.
A deactivated user can be reactivated again at a later stage, for instance after a leave of absence. Such users will also show up in user lists if you have chosen to show all users.
A deleted user will not show in any user lists. Deleted usernames cannot be used again. However, any captured data or form designs they have produced will still bear their name.
Deactivate user
- Press [Edit] by the user’s name in the User List.
- Press [Deactivate user], and press [Save changes].
Reactivate user
- In the Dashboard’s User List, check the button in the top right corner of the screen.
If this shows [Active users], change it through pressing on the down-arrow to [Deactivated users]. - Press [Edit] by the user’s name.
- Press [Activate user], and press [Save changes].
Delete user
- Press [Edit] by the user’s name in the User List.
- Press [Delete user], and press [Save changes].
Note: in earlier Zegeba versions, users could only be deactivated, not deleted. You may now choose to go through the list of deactivated users and delete some or all of the them.
Also note that you must never deactivate the user called Admin. Doing this will cause problems with background processes such as email sending.
