Remove access when someone leaves
Remove login methods and permissions without deleting their authored content.
Access needed: Site administrator; identity-provider or integration access may also be needed.
First identify the person, the accounts they use, and which content or responsibilities need transferring.
- Review their user groups, collaboration memberships, API credentials, and any external sign-in method.
- Remove the memberships that grant access and save.
- For a local username/password account, open Set username / password and choose Delete Username. Read the confirmation carefully.
- Disable the account at an external identity provider and revoke separate integration tokens where applicable.
- Arrange invalidation of existing sessions with the site's authentication administrator; removing a password alone is not proof that every existing session is gone.
- Test that the former access methods fail and that the replacement owner can still do the work.
Keep the person resource when it is needed for authorship or records. Unpublishing a person page is not an account-deactivation procedure. Do not delete their content merely to remove a login.
The built-in admin account is configured separately; this username-deletion dialog does not manage it. Handle emergency administrator credential rotation through site configuration.
