Overview

Inactive User Management helps website user maintenance by a one-off or scheduled clearning up of dormant user accounts. An automated process deactivates website users who have not logged into their accounts for a set amount of time. This flags the user as permanently inactive. This means they are not considered as a current user on the customer account. They also can no longer login.

To ensure only truly abandoned user accounts are deactivated, when a dormant account is flagged, the user is emailed a first warning. They can keep their account active by clicking the 'remain active' link in the email, If this is not done, after a set period, a final warning is sent. If there is no response to the 'remain active' link in this second email within a set time, the user account is deactivated.


Info

A dormant user who is the only approver on the customer account or has orders awaiting their approval cannot be deactivated through this service. 


CMS administrators can configure:

  • the inactive period (default: 365 days) before the first warning is sent
  • the number of days after the first warning to send the final warning
  • the number of hours the activation link to login in each warning email is valid
  • the number of days after the final warning to deactivate the account


Once deactivated, the user account is marked as 'inactive'. A deactivated user cannot login but the user account and history remains in the system.
