Disabling a User Account
Disabling an account – this is in effect an account deletion (their data is retained for audit reasons) so if they try to login into the application, they will be notified that their account has been disabled and therefore will be unable to access CQRS Local for all organisations they are registered at.
There are two ways in which this could be done. Firstly, the user themselves could disable their own account, if for example they no longer required access. Secondly, this can be done by the Administrator. The below instructions will be for the Administrator to disable the users account.
- From the CQRS Local homepage, click on the Users menu tile.
2. Find the user whose account you wish to disable and click on the View button.
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click on the Disable Account button.

5. Click the Confirm button.
