How do I archive and delete users?

If enabled for your account, in the User Admin area of the Vonage Contact Center (VCC) Admin Portal, you can archive users, revert users to active, and delete archived users. You can filter archived and active users to improve performance, particularly in accounts with large number of users. For information about filtering users, see Accessing and finding your way around User Admin.

Info

Supervisor and admin users can archive and reactivate other users; admin users only can delete archived users.

Archived and deleted users do not appear in Dashboards. To find out more about Dashboards, see Dashboards.

Archiving and reverting users to active

To archive a user, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to User Admin.
  2. Locate the user you want to archive. Limit the number of users displayed by selecting Active users in the Filter list.
  3. When you find the user you want to edit, click the pencil icon. The user's details appear.
  4. Click Archived.
  5. Click Update to save your settings.

The user is now archived and is not visible in the Active users view any longer. A red user icon appears next to the names of archived users.

Info
When you archive a ContactPad user, they are automatically logged out of ContactPad. If the user is working with an interaction, they are logged out when the interaction finishes. A non-ContactPad user is not automatically logged out of VCC admin portal when you archive them. Next time they are prompted to authenticate—after logging themselves out for example—they will not be able to log in.

To revert an archived user back to active, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to User Admin.
  2. Locate the user you want to revert from archived to active. Limit the number of users displayed by selecting Archived users in the Filter list.
  3. When you find the user you want to edit, click the pencil icon. The user's details appear.
  4. Click Active.
  5. Click Update to save your settings.

The user is now active and is not visible in the Archived users view any longer.

You can also archive and revert users to active using bulk actions. For more information, see Configuring multiple users (using bulk actions).

Deleting users

To delete a user, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to User Admin.
  2. Locate the user you want to delete. Limit the number of users displayed by selecting Archived users in the Filter list. If you want to delete an active user, you need to archive them first. For information about archiving users, see Archiving and reverting users to active earlier in this page.
