Deactivating and Deleting Staff

In this tutorial we are going to cover how, as a manager on the account, you can deactivate or delete staff users individually and in bulk.

There are various reasons you might want to deactivate or delete a staff user’s account, but the most important thing to bear in mind is that they will not be able to access their account or request a reset password email unless you make them active again.

Whilst awaiting deletion staff members will be permanently deleted from the account after 90 days, inactive staff can be reactivated whenever you please.

Please note that all staff members that you mark for deletion will automatically change their status from active/inactive to ‘awaiting deletion’. All awaiting deletion staff will remain in the account for 90 days, but once that period is up their profiles will get permanently deleted and you will no longer be able to see their name on the account. Any observation, report, etc. added by them will be kept but authored by ‘Deleted Staff’ once that happens.

Please note, only managers on Tapestry can add, edit or delete staff users from an account. 

Managers can deactivate a staff user on the account via the Configuration menu on Tapestry. Start by selecting Configuration at the bottom of the navigation menu on the left-hand side of the screen. This will open up a further menu, from which you need to select Staff.

In the Staff drop-down menu, click on Manage Staff.

Once on the Manage Staff page, search for the staff user whose profile you want to deactivate. Once you have found their profile, click on the cog drop down, and select the option Make Inactive from the menu. page.
