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.

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.
