Deleting or deactivating a user
Follow this process if you store the user's data in Bamboo. If the user data is stored in an external user directory like Crowd or LDAP, go to that directory to perform this action.
Deleting a user removes their Bamboo user account. Deactivating a user prevents them from logging in to Bamboo.
Deleting a Bamboo user
Before you begin:
- Deleting a Bamboo user will not delete their author data — that is, their author statistics and code check-in comments will still exist in Bamboo.
- You cannot delete a user who has created labels or comments about build results. You may want to deactivate them instead.
- You cannot delete the user account with which you are currently logged in to Bamboo.

To delete a Bamboo user:

- Use the Delete link in the 'Operations' column.
Deactivating a Bamboo user
You can deactivate a user, which means that they won't receive any email or IM notifications and they won't be able to log in to your Bamboo instance.
Deactivated users can't recover their passwords, but they can still can trigger builds by committing to repositories.
To deactivate a Bamboo user:
- Go to Administration > User management.
- Find the user that you want to deactivate.
- Click Edit.
- Unselect the Active user check box:
- Click Save.
Alternative scenario:
- Go to Administration > User management.
- Find the user that you want to deactivate.
- Click Edit.
- Enter a new password for the user.
If you have configured SMTP email on your Bamboo server, the user will automatically receive an email containing their new password. - To get around the email problem, enter an invalid email address in the Email field, for example foobar@fooobaremailaddress.foobar.
- Delete the user's Instant Messaging Address so that he or she does not receive notifications on build events.
- Click Save.
