At times, it may be necessary to terminate user accounts within the software application. Follow these instructions to ensure a proper and secure account termination process:
Step 1: Review User Account
Log in to the software application using your administrator credentials.
Navigate to the Admin section and locate the user account you wish to terminate.
Step 2: Gather Information
Before proceeding, gather all necessary information related to the user's account, including their role, permissions, and any data associated with their account.
Step 3: Disable User Access
In the Admin section, select the user account you intend to terminate.
Disable user access by changing their permissions to "None" or an equivalent access level that prevents further logins and actions.
Step 4: Communicate with User
Notify the user that their account is being terminated due to the reasons provided.
Inform the user of any data they may need to retrieve or actions they should take before the termination takes effect.
Step 5: Data Removal (If Applicable)
If required, delete or anonymize any data associated with the user's account as per data retention policies and legal requirements.
Step 6: Account Deactivation
In the Admin section, mark the user account as "Deactivated" or equivalent status to indicate its termination.
Step 7: Access Review (Optional)
Periodically review and audit terminated accounts to ensure no unintended access or actions occur.
Step 8: Inform Relevant Teams
Communicate the account termination to relevant teams or departments that may be impacted by the user's departure.
Step 9: Documentation
Document the account termination process, including the reason, date, and any actions taken.
