Tips, Notes, and Alerts

💡 Tips:

  • To find a user in a long list, type the first letter of their last name to jump to that section.

  • To fully remove a user's information, modify all of their profile fields to generic information (this step is optional).

  • Create new users from inactive accounts and modify all fields to reduce the total number of inactive users.

📝 Note: The user list is organized alphabetically by last name.

⚠️ Alert: Do not convert admin user accounts to panelist accounts or vice versa due to the risk of site permission issues.
