This section covers the three ways to remove unwanted user accounts in Squore: blocking, deleting and purging.

All options can be accessed from Administration > Users, where all user accounts are presented in table form.

Blocking an account

  • The user cannot access Squore anymore to view or create projects

  • The user’s data and contributions are left untouched and are still visible to other users in the web UI.

  • You can unblock the account at any time to allow the user to log in again.

  • A license token is freed up for another user immediately.

Deleting an account

  • The user cannot access Squore anymore to view or create projects

  • This action is irreversible.

  • Personal user data, like favourites, links, API tokens will be removed.

  • User contributions, like comments, created projects, state changes will be assigned to a system "Ghost" user, in order to maintain system integrity.

  • A license token is freed up for another user immediately.

Purging an account

  • The user cannot access Squore anymore to view or create projects

  • This action is irreversible.

  • All the user’s personal data and contributions are removed.

  • All the user’s personal projects (i.e. not visible to other users) are removed.

  • A license token is freed up for another user immediately.

Blocking and unblocking can be achieved from the Enabled Account column of the Users table.

Deleting options are accessible via a menu in the Delete column of the Users table.
