  • The Inactive column with the checkboxes will now appear for non admin users.
  • Tick the Inactive checkbox for the user to deactivate.

Tips and Tricks

  • For security reasons enable User Setup and Access levels edition in Super Administrator's profile only.
  • If you need to use FA whilst travelling, you may want to add an additional user account with a 'limited access role'; reducing the number of options available will be less distracting and make the interface more user friendly especially if your device has a small screen. you can always log out and log back in with your 'normal' username should you require additional functionality.
