Make inactive vs delete
There are two user options: “Mark as inactive” and “Permanently delete,” each serving a distinct purpose, as explained below.
Make inactive
- Typically this is the option that will be used. When a user is no longer with your organization, you might want to remove their access and hide them from the application. This can be accomplished by making them inactive.
- Making a user inactive will remove the user’s access and hide them. But they can still be viewed by selecting “Show inactive” on the filter bar
Delete
- The purpose of delete is for users that were entered by mistake and need to be removed entirely.
- To delete a user you need to first make the user inactive, then select again, and then you will see the option to permanently delete
Make active
- An inactive user can be reactivated
- To do so, select the user and then select “Make active”
