Blocking an account

  • The user cannot access PC-lint Plus View anymore to view or create projects

  • The user’s data and contributions are left untouched and are still visible to other users in the web UI.

  • You can unblock the account at any time to allow the user to log in again.

Deleting an account

  • The user cannot access PC-lint Plus View anymore to view or create projects

  • This action is irreversible.

  • Personal user data, like favourites, links, API tokens will be removed.

  • User contributions, like created projects and state changes will be assigned to a system "Ghost" user, in order to maintain system integrity.

Purging an account

  • The user cannot access PC-lint Plus View anymore to view or create projects

  • This action is irreversible.

  • All the user’s personal data and contributions are removed.

  • All the user’s personal projects (i.e. not visible to other users) are removed.

Blocking and unblocking can be achieved from the Enabled Account column of the Users table.

Deleting options are accessible via a menu in the Delete column of the Users table.
