Delete Users Permanently (On-Premises Only)

Applies to QAComplete 14.3, last modified on February 19, 2024
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:

  1. Go to  > Setup.

  2. Select Security > Permanently Delete Users on the navigation panel on the left.

  3. Select the user you want to delete in the User drop-down list.

  4. Make sure you have selected the needed user.

  5. Select the Delete this User check box.

  6. Click Submit.
