Deleting Users

How do I delete a user?

13

Deleting Users


You have several options for deleting a user. To ensure that no content is disturbed, select Disable the account and keep its content.

14

Deleting Users


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.

15

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.

Core Publisher Vocabulary: Table Queue

Table Queue – Term used to describe any queue of content that you create and display on your site

Most Table Queues are going to have a checkbox that you must check to make the block show up on your site.

20



Enter the name of a piece of content (Person, Post, Page or Program) in a blank field to add it to your Queue.

21



Typing in a field activates the auto-complete function, which will generate a list of posts based on what you are typing. Select the piece of content that you want to add to the Queue from this list.

22



Use the crossed arrows to drag and drop your content into the desired order and hierarchy.

23



Make sure to check the Display check box for each piece of content that you want to show up on your site. Unchecking the Display box will hide your content, allowing you to queue it up for the future.
