Removing Users from Keyzapp
From time to time, as your team changes, you need to remove a user from Keyzapp. You can take this to various levels, depending on your need.
Prevent a person from signing out keys
This doesn't stop a person logging in, but may be useful if you need to prevent colleagues from signing out keys to a person
- Search for the user via the People page or the Search bar on the Home page
- Once you have selected the person’s name, their People Details page will load
- Click the Edit button in the Contact Details box
- Tick the Block from signing out keys option
- Click Save
Disable a user's login to remove their access from Keyzapp
If a team member leaves, or you wish to prevent access for some other reason, simply follow the steps below.
- Search for the user via the People page or the Search bar on the Home page
- Once you have selected the person’s name, their People Details page will load
- Click the Edit button in the User Account box
- An Edit User Account box will load – untick Allowed to login check box
- Click Save
The person can no longer access Keyzapp with their username and password. Their person record will remain, as well as their activity history and the audit trail of everything they have done in Keyzapp.
Archive a disabled user
This is the final step for removing a person. It is not always strictly necessary since it is often still useful to search for a user and see their history, even though they are no longer working with your keys.
- Search for the user via the People page or the Search bar on the Home page
- Once you have selected the person’s name, their People Details page will load
- Click the Edit button in the Contact Details box
- Click the Archive button
- Click Yes to confirm.
Once you archive a person, they will not be available to search for them.
Note: An archived person or user is not fully deleted. This makes sure that the history recorded against your keys stays intact.
