Managing Users¶

Deactivating users¶

Deactivating a user prevents them from logging in but preserves their contribution history and attribution in translation records.

1. Access Django's admin interface at /a/.
2. Click Users and search for the user.
3. Uncheck the Active checkbox on the user's record.
4. Click Save.

Users can also be deactivated directly from their Profile page, where an optional reason for disabling can be provided.

Deactivation is reversible — you can reactivate the user by checking Active again.

Removing users¶

Removing a user permanently deletes their account. This is irreversible and should only be done when strictly necessary (e.g., for GDPR/privacy requests).

1. Access Django's admin interface at /a/.
2. Click Users and search for the user.
3. Select the user and choose Delete selected users from the action dropdown.
4. Confirm the deletion.

Adjusting permissions¶

To change a user's role (Contributor, Translator, Team Manager), use the Permissions tab on the relevant Team page. See User Accounts & Settings for details.
