Is it possible to delete users?

Published

Users once created cannot be deleted by all. However, they can be Deactivated by anyone having access to Landing Admin (Configuration User, Group Editor, Group Owner). Deactivating users would prevent them from logging in or accessing any Groups. Deactivated users can be Activated again if need be.

To Deactivate a User, login to Landing Admin and click Search User

Once the user is found, click Edit to load the User Details page

In the User Details page change the User Status to Deactivated and click Update. Success message would be displayed to indicate that the user status is updated
