Remove a user
You can remove users from the site without deleting their accounts. This prevents the user from accessing the site, while keeping their metadata and content ownership intact.
- Click the checkbox next to the left of the users you want to remove.
- At the top of the page, click Remove from site. A confirmation message displays.
- Click 'Yes' to confirm.
Actions menu
Click the Actions button to the far right of any user to display a list of actions.
The following actions can be performed:
- Edit user - Update the user details
- Login as - Log in as the selected user to help troubleshoot or test features
In KAF, this is not the same as the LMS impersonation tool. It opens the user's My Media directly.
- Show groups - View the groups an individual user belongs to.
- Clear cache - Clear the user's cache.
- Block - Temporarily disable access for the user. You can unblock the user at any time.
- Remove from site - Remove users without deleting their accounts. This prevents the user from accessing the site, while keeping their metadata and content ownership intact.
- Copy login link - See Emaillogin module article for details.
