Manage users

Each ActiveCampaign account comes with at least one user. A user can log into your shared ActiveCampaign account and manage various features. In this article, you’ll learn how to assign user accounts, purchase additional users, and delete a user from your account.

Take note

• All Admins can add new users and manage user permissions
• All Admins can delete account users
• If integrations are set up with a user’s API credentials, deleting the user will cause integrations to break. You must update affected integrations with another user's API credentials since there is no account default API
• Pricing and purchasing for additional seats can be found on your Billing & Upgrade page

How to delete users from your ActiveCampaign account

Deleting account users prevents those individuals from logging into your ActiveCampaign account and managing various features. You may want to delete an account user if the individual no longer works at your company or changed roles within your organization.

Deleting a user does not remove the number of user seats associated with your account. Once a user is deleted, you can reassign the seat to another person in your organization or leave it empty.

This delete action cannot be undone.

To delete a user from your account:

1. Click Settings on the left menu.
2. Click "Users and Groups" on the left menu.
3. Locate the user you want to delete. Then either:
   • Click the checkbox next to their name, then click "Delete" or
   • Click the down caret next to the "Edit" button, then click "Delete"
4. If integrations are set up with a user’s API credentials, deleting the user will cause integrations to break. You must update affected integrations with another user's API credentials since there is no account default API.
5. If the user owns any lists, you need to reassign them to another user.
6. If the user owns any Accounts, you need to reassign them to another user.
7. If the user owns any Deals or Tasks, you need to reassign them to another user.
8. A modal will appear. Click the "Delete User" button. 

The user will be removed from your account.
