Use with caution. Deleting users permanently cannot be undone. |
When you perform a soft delete of a user, the user record becomes inactive, and all the user’s rights to access the application are revoked. However, the user record remains in the application database.
There may be a situation when you want to remove the user record completely. You can do it if the appropriate user has never logged in to the application. Otherwise, if you delete a user who has worked with the application, issues may occur. For example, the Owned By and Updated By fields may be empty for some items.
To delete a user permanently:
-
Go to > Users.
