Version 11.2 and Earlier
On the Manage users tab located on the Global Settings window, administrators can perform two user management functions:
- To reset a user’s settings back to the default settings, click
within the user’s row.
- To delete a user, click
within the user’s row. Deleting a user does not prevent that user from logging in. But deleting a user deletes that user's dashboards, attribute filters, and schemas, including those that have been shared. Please see the important note about shared objects below.
Since members of other groups may be using objects shared by the user you want to delete, when you attempt to delete a user, the Confirm Delete Action dialog provides a warning. It shows the total number of objects that the user shared (even if that user later unshared them). The only shared dashboards that are counted in this message are the ones that are in use (at least one other user has added the dashboard to their current view).

Version 12.x and Later
On the Manage Users tab within the Application Settings window, administrators can perform the following user management functions:
-
Reset User Settings:
To reset a user’s settings to the default configuration, select the checkbox next to the user and click Reset from the Selected menu. -
Delete a User:
To delete a user, select the checkbox and click Delete from the Selected menu.
Deleting a user does not prevent them from logging in again. However, it does remove their dashboards, attribute filters, and schemas—including any shared objects.
Please refer to the important note on shared objects below.
Since members of other groups may be using objects shared by the user you intend to delete, the Confirm Delete Action dialog displays a warning when you attempt to delete that user. This dialog shows the total number of objects the user has shared—even if the user later unshared them.
Only shared dashboards that are actively in use (i.e., at least one other user has added the dashboard to their current view) are included in this count.
