Introduction
Managing user access is a critical aspect of maintaining security and operational efficiency in Truvid's Online Video Platform. Sometimes, it becomes necessary to deactivate a user account, whether due to an employee's departure from the company or other reasons. Deactivating a user account ensures that unauthorized personnel cannot access sensitive information or perform unwanted action.
Steps to Deactivate a User Account

Navigate to the Users Item: Start by clicking on your avatar icon (your profile initials or picture) in the top-right corner of the Truvid dashboard and click it. This will open a menu, where you can manage your Profile, Settings, Users, Billing, and more.
-
Click on Users: Find and select 'Users'. Here, you will see all existing users.
-
Select User: In the list of users that appear on the 'Users' page, select the user you want to edit.

Deactivate User: In the side panel that opens, use the toggle switch at the top right to set the user as 'Active' or 'Inactive'.

Confirm Deactivation: After you toggle the status to inactive a prompt will ask you to confirm. Click 'deactivate' to confirm.
Conclusion
Deactivating a user account is a necessary step in certain situations for maintaining the security and integrity of your online video platform operations. By following these steps, you can ensure that only authorized personnel have access to your platform.
