Deactivating, reactivating, and deleting Studio users

From the Users page of the Control Panel, you can make an active user inactive. You can also reactivate or delete inactive users.

Note that you cannot make your own user account inactive, and you cannot delete an active user.

From the Users page, to change the status of a user account:

  1. To make an existing user inactive:
    1. In the users list, select the check box for the user you want to deactivate.
    2. Click Deactivate.

      Big Data Discovery prompts you to confirm that you want to deactivate the user.

      The user is then removed from the list of active users.

      Note that inactive users are not removed from Big Data Discovery.

  2. To reactivate or delete an inactive user:
    1. Click the Advanced link below the user search field.

      Big Data Discovery displays additional user search fields.

    2. From the Active list, select No.

      Note that if you change the Match type to Any, you must also provide search criteria in at least one of the other fields.

    3. Click Search.

      The users list displays only the inactive users.

    4. Select the check box for the user you want to reactivate or delete.
    5. To reactivate the user, click Restore.
    6. To delete the user, click Delete.
