Summary

This article explains how to delete a user from your Platinum system.

More Information

This process is only used, in general to delete users that have been created in error but never actually used.

We would recommend that you would deactivate a user in preference to deleting the user as historic records will still refer to the user.

The removal of a user can only be performed on a user that is 'Deactivated'. The procedure below when performed on an active will just result in them having a 'leaving date' assigned to them and thus making that user 'deactivated'.

Go to " Reports & Settings Maintenance Options System Administrator Add or Edit Users".

  • Enter the name of the user you wish to delete and select [Search].
  • Press [Delete] to delete them.
  • Click [Yes] to confirm the deletion.
