Managing accounts
This section covers the three ways to remove unwanted user accounts in Squore: blocking, deleting and purging.
All options can be accessed from Administration > Users, where all user accounts are presented in table form.
Blocking an account
-
The user cannot access Squore anymore to view or create projects
-
The user’s data and contributions are left untouched and are still visible to other users in the web UI.
-
You can unblock the account at any time to allow the user to log in again.
-
A license token is freed up for another user immediately.
Deleting an account
-
The user cannot access Squore anymore to view or create projects
-
This action is irreversible.
-
Personal user data, like favourites, links, API tokens will be removed.
-
User contributions, like comments, created projects, state changes will be assigned to a system "Ghost" user, in order to maintain system integrity.
-
A license token is freed up for another user immediately.
Purging an account
