Deleting and Disabling Users in Shape CRM

Deleting and Disabling Users in Shape CRM

There are very small differences between deleted and inactive users in Shape Software. Deleted users are removed entirely from your system. Inactive/disabled users (a user with an “Inactive” status) remain in the list of users in case you would like to re-activate them at some time in the future. Disabled users essentially have no access to the system and they are not billed during the time they are inactive. Below is a breakdown of deleted and disabled / inactive users in the system.

Deleted Users

Note: Note: To delete a user, simply click the “Choose” dropdown next to that user and select “Delete”. You will then be prompted to select where to assign that user’s records.

Inactive/Disabled Users

  • Inactive users are locked out of the system.
  • You have the ability to decide where to re-assign the inactive user’s orphaned events, tasks, users, records etc.
  • Disabled users are hidden everywhere in the system with the exception of past notes & logs.
  • Inactive users are not billed for the amount of time that they are inactive.
Note: Note: To disable a user, simply navigate to the User Settings tab and turn OFF the toggle for Active User. You will then decide which user will receive the inactive user’s files. You can re-activate them any time from the Inactive tab next to User Settings.
