After logging in as admin, how can I delete one or more users previously created and no longer needed?

there is currently no functionality for deleting users. You can uncheck the "enabled" checkbox in their
accounts to prevent them from logging in though.

If you are familiar with working directly on the database, you might delete them directly from there.
But be aware that if there is still data associated with any of these users and later somebody creates
a new account with the same username, they will be able to access that data.

Cheers,

Ok, thank you very much. I am trying to “reset” an inception installation deleting the (single) project we manage and all the users, so there should be any risks of data leaking among users.

Cheers,

In that case, consider dropping all the tables from the database or deleting the database and starting from scratch.

Mind that if you reset the database, also delete the `repository` folder from the INCEpTION application home directory.

I cannot do this as I am not the administrator of the machine (it is a remote server). I think it is best if I keep the current users, disabling those that are not needed.
