Deactivating a user prevents them from logging in to any applications that use the Crowd framework. You would typically do this when a user leaves your organisation.

Deleting a user removes them completely from the relevant directory.

Consider deactivating instead of deleting

We recommend that you deactivate a user rather than delete them, in case some applications contain historical data, e.g. documents that the user has created. Read more.

To deactivate a user,

  1. Log in to the Crowd Administration Console.
  2. Click the 'Users' link in the top navigation bar.
  3. This will display the User Browser. Select the relevant directory, locate the user you wish to deactivate, and click the 'View' link that corresponds to the user.
  4. This will display the 'User Details' screen. Deselect the 'Active' check-box, then click the 'Update' button. The user will now be unable to log in to any applications which use the Crowd framework. 

To delete a user,

  1. Log in to the Crowd Administration Console.
  2. Click the 'Users' link in the top navigation bar.
  3. This will display the User Browser. Click the 'View' link that corresponds to the user you wish to delete.
  4. This will display the 'User Details' screen. Click 'Remove User' in the left-hand menu.

The user will be removed from the relevant directory and will no longer appear in the User Browser..
