Activating or Deactivating Users
To activate or deactivate a user, you must have the Manage Organizations permission or the Manage Users permission in CentraSite.
Note:
Users who have the Manage Organizations permission, by default have the Manage Users permission.
Activating a user allows the user to log on to CentraSite. Deactivating a user prevents the user from logging on to CentraSite.
The following guidelines apply when activating or deactivating a user:
*If there is only one user in the CentraSite Administrator role, or only one user in the Organization Administrator role within an organization, you cannot deactivate that user. You cannot deactivate a user who is an authorized approver for an approval flow that is in the Pending state.
*Inactive users cannot be assigned to groups. If you deactivate a user, the user does not receive automatic email notifications from CentraSite.
*To keep your audit trail intact when a user leaves the organization, deactivate that user but leave his or her existing assets in place. If you delete the user or transfer the user's assets to someone else, the audit trail for those assets is lost.
