Permissions

* Org admins can only delete users who belong to their organization and no other. See restrictions below.

Special Rules

User Deletion

Super admins can delete any user, with these restrictions:

  • Cannot delete yourself
  • Cannot delete the last super admin

Org admins can delete a user only when all of the following are true:

  • The target user is not a super admin
  • The target user belongs to the admin's current organization
  • The target user belongs to only one organization (the admin's org)

If the target user belongs to multiple organizations, admins can remove them from the organization instead of deleting them entirely.
