Before you begin
Version: v6 (what does this mean?)
Audience: Admins and users with the Edit user status system role permission.
There are 3 different statuses you can assign to a user account:
- Active, which means that the user can log in and use the app. When you activate a user account, we automatically send emails welcoming the new user and prompting them to set a password.
- Passive, which means that the user can't log in to the app (and therefore doesn't need a license). Users with configured advanced notifications on a Professional or Enterprise plan will still receive notifications. If this user was assigned an analytics seat, it is automatically removed from their account and their analytics content and schedules are deleted.
- Deactivated or inactive, which means that the user can't log in (and therefore doesn't need a license) and won't receive any notifications. For example, you could assign this status to users who no longer work for your organization, or who are on temporary leave and don't need to receive notifications. If this user was assigned an analytics seat, it is automatically removed from their account and their analytics content and schedules are deleted.
To change a user's account status:
- Navigate to Settings > Users.
- Click the user whose status you want to change.
- In the Status drop-down list, select the appropriate status:
- Depending on which status you selected, the app might display an additional confirmation message:
- If you set the user's account to Active, skip to step 5.
- If you set the user's account to Passive, click Close.
- If you set the user's account to Deactivated, click Deactivate. The app displays a success message and updates the Status drop-down list:
- To return to the user list, click Back.
