This article is for administrators or staffing users with the appropriate permissions.
Important:
- You must be an Administrator or Staffing user to perform this task.
- Staffing Users cannot inactivate an Administrator, but they can inactivate another Staffing User.
When an employee leaves your company, you must inactivate their account.
Inactivate a user in Recruiting
- Go to People > Hiring > Applicant Tracking.
- Select Admin, then select Users.
- Select the candidate's name.
- Go to the User Status and Login section. Update these fields:
- Login: Select the checkbox next to the Locked field.
- Status: Select the checkbox next to the Inactive field.
- Select Save.
Notes:
- Inactivating a user removes them from all jobs.
- You cannot inactivate a user who is the only hiring manager on a job. To work around this, replace the hiring manager with another user. Then deactivate the former hiring manager.
