#admin #user_management
Overview
In contentbird, users can either be deleted or replaced—depending on whether you want to reassign a license or continue using an existing account.
1) Deleting a User
📍 Settings → Users
Select “Delete” from the dropdown
Choose a target user for data transfer
Impact
If the user has never logged in:
→ The account is completely deletedIf the user has been active:
→ The account remains in the system (for historical purposes)
The following data is transferred:
Personal tasks
Delegated tasks
Email threads (non-shared)
Assigned content
👉 Historical actions (e.g. created content) remain visible
→ marked as an inactive user
2) Replacing a User
Edit the user
Change name and email address
Save changes
👉 The account remains fully intact (including all data and connections)
Important note:
No automatic email with login credentials is sent
The new user must request a password via the login page
Decision Guide
Delete → if a user leaves the company and data should be transferred
Replace → if an account should be reused (e.g. successor)
Conclusion
Both options provide flexible user management.
Deleting ensures a clean data transfer, while replacing allows seamless reuse of existing accounts.
