Deactivating Users

v4.1 and up

​

Deactivating a user is a way of deleting a user. A deactivated user will not be able to login, perform inspections, or do anything. They are not deleted because there could be inspections that were performed by that user, and thus it would be useful to know who performed which inspections. Plus, deactivated users can be restored at anytime.

To deactivate a user, click "Deactivate" or "Delete". To view the deactivated users, click the two arrows at the top of the screen and under "More", click "Show Inactive Users".
