Deleting an App User

In this topic, you will learn how to delete an app user.

Introduction

App users create their own accounts when they first use a Brightcove Beacon app. You delete users using Beacon Classic when the app users are no longer needed.

When deleting, you have two options, those being:

  • Delete
  • Delete and Forget

When you Delete, you can later restore the user from a deleted user list. When you Delete and Forget you have no chance to restore that user.
