15
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
doesnt 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.
