# Deleting and Reactivating User Accounts

Customers can delete user accounts and reactivate deleted user accounts, which provides flexibility for managing accounts and helps ensure the privacy and security of your district’s data. If a deleted user returns to the district or if you need to recover the user’s data, you can reactivate the account.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** If your district completes user imports with Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), the only way to deactivate/delete or reactivate a user is to include an Action column in the import file and provide the corresponding value on the user record. Visit [Importing User Accounts](/v1/docs/importing-user-accounts) for more information.

## **Deleting User Accounts**

> [!WARNING]
> **Caution:**Before deleting the user account, first remove the user from any workflows, such as in Formspace, Facilities&Events, Aware, etc., where this person is responsible for approving or denying actions in any of the applications. For some applications, a replacement function does not exist for the user's job.

2. Select**Users**( person_outline ).

## Application Actions After User Account Deletion

Deleting user accounts results in the following application behaviors:

### **Management**

- Automatically removes profiles from **System Groups** and **Custom Groups**.
- Automatically removes all assigned roles and rights, including Helpdesk and Facilities&Events (which are assigned within the application).
- Automatically unlinks the teacher’s Aware SIS account.

### **Aware**

- Does not remove the user from Teams. Users need to be manually removed from Teams before or after deletion.

### **Forethought**

- Removes the user’s planner from shared planners.
- Does not remove the user from any team planners, nor does it delete the team planner.

### **Strive**

- Removes the user from the evaluator’s list and automatically deselects the former evaluator from the user.
- Maintains data in reports.
- Requires user reactivation to see and print documents.
- Does not archive or save evaluator and staff member comments.
- Prevents the ability to view portfolios if the deleted user was a manager.
- Maintains course enrollment for the user.

### **Formspace**

- Shows the user’s submitted forms to approvers in the workflow.
- Prevents the form from being reviewed and approved if the deleted user was the approver.

> [!WARNING]
> **Caution:** Before deleting a user, use the **Replace User Utility** in **General Options** in **Formspace**.

### **Helpdesk**

- Keeps any active tickets the user created.
- Makes tickets viewable to a manager to reassign to another technician if the originally-assigned technician was deleted.

### **Facilities&Events**

- Keeps the user’s reservations as active or in the queue for approval.
- Keeps the user tied to assets and rooms and included in workflows.

> [!WARNING]
> **Caution:** Before deleting a user, remove all roles, steps in workflows, and connections as an asset manager.

2. Select **Users Settings** ( settings ), and then select**Undelete Users**.
3. Search for and select the user account to restore.
