allows you to revoke administrative access when needed. Removing an administrator changes their status to "Disabled" while maintaining their access history.

Disabling Administrator Access

  1. Navigate to the Settings page through the left sidebar

  2. Locate the administrator you want to remove:

    • Use the search bar to find them by name or email

    • Browse the full administrator list if preferred

  3. Click the Actions menu next to their name

  4. Select "Disable Access" from the dropdown

  5. Confirm the action in the verification dialog

What Happens After Removal

When you disable an administrator's access:

  • They immediately lose ability to log into Publisher

  • Their account status changes to "Disabled"

  • Their previous actions remain in the audit history

  • They can be reinstated later if needed

Important Considerations

Before removing administrator access:

  • Ensure critical administrative tasks are reassigned

  • Consider temporarily disabling access for short-term changes

  • Remember that disabled administrators can be reinstated through the same Settings page

The administrator list maintains records of disabled accounts for audit purposes, but these users cannot access Publisher until explicitly re-enabled by another administrator.
