Managing user accounts
This section provides information to help operators manage user accounts. For an overview of user accounts, see the Admin settings overview from the CircleCI app by clicking on your profile in the top right corner and selecting Admin.
Suspending accounts
This section covers how to suspend new, active, or inactive accounts.
New accounts
Any user associated with your GitHub organization can create a user account for your CircleCI server installation. To control who has access, you can choose to automatically suspend all new users, requiring an administrator to activate them before they can log in. To access this feature:
-
Navigate to your CircleCI Admin Settings.
-
Select System Settings from the Admin Settings menu.
-
Set Suspend New Users to True.
Active accounts
When an account is no longer required, you can suspend the account. It will no longer be active and will not count against your license quota. To suspend an account:
-
Navigate to your CircleCI Admin Settings.
-
Select Users from the Admin Settings menu.
-
Scroll to locate the account in either the Active or Inactive window.
-
Select Suspend next to the account name and the account will appear in the Suspended window.
Inactive accounts
Inactive accounts are those that have been approved by the administrator of the server installation but have not logged into the system successfully. These accounts do not count against your available server seats.
Reactivating accounts
This section covers how to reactivate new or previously active accounts.
