Deleting Users
Remove team members who no longer need access to your organization.
When to Delete Users
Consider deleting users who:
- Have left the organization
- No longer need access to SenseiiWyze
- Were added by mistake
- Have duplicate accounts
Who Can Delete Users
| Role | Can Delete |
|---|---|
| Admin-Executive | Any user |
| Admin-Manager | Members and Learners only |
| Member | No |
| Learner | No |
Note: Admin-Managers cannot delete other Admin-Managers or Admin-Executives.
How to Delete a User
- Click Users in the main navigation
- Find the user you want to delete
- Click the ⋮ menu or Delete button
- Review the confirmation dialog
- Type the user's name or email to confirm
- Click Delete User
What Gets Deleted
When you delete a user:
| Data | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Account | Permanently deleted |
| Profile | Removed from organization |
| Assessment data | Retained for reporting (anonymized) |
| Team assignments | Removed |
| Login access | Immediately revoked |
What's Retained
For compliance and analytics purposes, some anonymized data is retained:
- Assessment completion records (anonymized)
- Aggregate team statistics
This data cannot be linked back to the deleted user.
Immediate Effects
Once a user is deleted:
- They cannot log in
- Active sessions are terminated
- Their seat is freed
- They disappear from user lists
- Team counts update automatically
Deleting Invited Users
To remove someone who hasn't accepted their invitation:
- Go to Users > Invited
- Find the invitation
- Click Cancel
This frees the seat without any data to clean up.
Bulk Deletion
To delete multiple users at once:
- Go to Users
- Select users using checkboxes
- Click Bulk Actions
- Select Delete Selected
- Confirm the action
Caution: Bulk deletion cannot be undone. Double-check your selection.
Recovery and Restoration
Deleted users cannot be restored. If you delete a user by mistake:
- The user must be re-invited
- They create a new account
- Previous data (scores, progress) is not recovered
- They start fresh in the system
Before Deleting
Consider these alternatives:
Changing Roles
If the user needs limited access:
- Change their role to a more restricted level
- They retain their data and history
- You can restore full access later
Temporary Suspension
Currently not available. Consider changing their role to the most restricted level instead.
Compliance Considerations
For regulated industries:
- Data retention requirements - Check if you need to retain user data
- Audit trails - Deletion is logged for admin accountability
- GDPR requests - User deletion satisfies the "right to be forgotten"
Best Practices
- Verify before deleting - Confirm the user should be removed
- Communicate first - Let the user know they'll lose access
- Export data if needed - Download any reports before deletion
- Document the reason - Keep records of why users were removed
- Review regularly - Periodically audit for inactive users to delete
Common Questions
Q: What happens to their team? The team continues without them. If they were a coach, you may need to assign a new one.
Q: Do I get the seat back immediately? Yes, the seat is freed as soon as the deletion completes.
Q: Can the same email be re-invited? Yes, you can invite the same email address again if needed.
Q: What if they're in the middle of an assessment? Their progress is lost. Wait until they complete if possible.
