Delete Users

How do you delete users from Admin Login?

You can't but you can make them inactive instead. If you really, really want to do this you can set the deleted flag in the db to 1 but you'll want to make sure to reassign all records assigned to that person to someone else. There are more details on this forum if you search for "delete user".

You can't (and shouldn't). Doing so can cause problems with viewing data, upgrades and other undesired behavior, hence the reason why there isn't a facility within the application to delete users.

Users should instead be set to inactive. If you really must delete them, you have to do it through the backend, by directly manipulating the Users table in the Sugar database. However, that puts you at risk of the aforementioned problems.

ROFL. Second time in two consecutive days that this happens to me. Yesterday it was with Andre.

OK - I was just trying to can the DEMO users that the system had installed- r they different by chance?

[Angel]

No, they are not any different. Although, if I remember correctly, all of the demo data is assigned to the "Admin" user, so you'd probably be OK deleting them.

Under Admin->Repair there is an option called "Enable/Disable Seed Users" that will let you do this easily.


Angel,

You would have beat me to it if I would have had a thought out answer like yours
