Deleting Users
How do I delete a user?
Checking this box means that the user cannot be deleted until a confirmation email from the user is received. We suggest leaving this box unchecked.
16
Deleting Users
What is the difference between deleting and blocking a user?
Blocking a user stops them from being able to log in, but keeps their account in your system and doesn’t give you any options about their content.
Deleting a user gives you more options, like the ability to delete the user and their content, or just disable their account and keep the content.
Blocking a user should be for temporary account disabling, while deleting a user should be for permanent account changes.
17
A Note on Users – editor user
The editor user is automatically created on your site. This user is associated with all content pulled from the NPR API.
Never delete or edit this user in any way, as that will negatively impact your site.
