Archiving a user removes their login access and hides them from active views—without deleting their data. This ensures their information stays available for filtering, reporting, and documentation. This is the recommended method over deletion, which may impact past data entries.


👥 Go to the Participants’s Profile

  • For Participants, click Participants, then select the individual you want to archive.


⚙️ Open Profile Settings

  • From the user’s profile, click Edit Profile & Settings under their name.


📋 Manage Access

Once you’re in the Edit Profile view, you’ll see tabs on the left side. Each tab lets you manage different parts of the user’s account. Click Access to manage status.

  • Access – Role (Admin, Supporter, Mentor), status (active/inactive), and mobile access


📉 Change Active Status

  • Find the Active dropdown field.

  • Change the setting from Active to Inactive.

  • Click Save to confirm.

OR

  • Select the red Discharge button.

  • Click Save to confirm.


✅ What Happens Next

  • The user is now inactive (archived).

  • They can no longer log in.

  • They are hidden from most views, but their records remain available through filters and reports.

  • You can no longer edit their information.


Equip Tip: Archiving keeps your workspace clean without losing important data. Unless you’re correcting an error, avoid deleting users—archiving is safer for audit trails and long-term documentation.
