Requirements/Dependencies


In order to disable an employee (or user account) from your ShareVision site, you will need to

  • Login with ShareVision Administrator permissions 



Disabling an Employee Account

  2. Select the gear in the upper right hand corner and then select Site Administration:

  3. When prompted, enter your ShareVision Administrator username and password and select Sign In.







Disabling a user will ensure they are blocked from accessing any and all ShareVision websites they currently have access to. Disabling a user is a good step to take when an employee leaves the organization as it ensures they are no longer able to access information they could before.
