Delete, deactivate or reactivate user accounts

In This Topic

You can only delete a user account that has no major links.

Although you can't DELETE a user account that has major links, you can DEACTIVATE it. This is useful if you want to use it again in future.

A red asterisk against a user account shows that changes have been made to it that haven't yet been saved.
