Deleting and restoring users

For Organisation Super Admins removing staff who have left, or restoring a deleted record.

Video walkthrough

Only Organisation Super Admin users can delete or restore users. If you do not have this role, ask your school's super user.

Who needs deleting manually

External staff members are created manually in SchoolsBuddy, so you must delete them manually. Depending on your MIS, some other staff members also need deleting manually. See our Data & Integrations Guides for details.

Do a yearly sweep of staff who have left your organisation.
