How to Make a User Inactive and Archive a User
In the platform, you can either make a user inactive or archive a user. These actions are related but serve different purposes:
- Making a user inactive temporarily disables their access without removing their record from the system. This is useful if an employee is on leave or temporarily not using the platform.
- Archiving a user permanently removes them from active lists but keeps their data in the system for historical reference. A user must first be inactive before they can be archived.
Steps to Make a User Inactive
- Navigate to People in the platform.
- Locate the user whose status you want to change.
- Edit the user’s profile.
- Change their Status to Inactive.
- Save your changes.
Steps to Archive a User
- Ensure the user has been set to Inactive.
- In the user’s profile, select the three dots on the right-hand side.
- Click Archive.
- The user will now be removed from active lists but retained in the system for historical purposes.
