Disable or Delete Users
This article describes how to disable and delete users within the GoodData platform and individual workspaces.
The procedures in this article assume that you access your workspaces at https://secure.gooddata.com/.
If you are a white-labeled customer, replace secure.gooddata.com with your white-labeled domain in the following procedure steps.
Disable a User in a Workspace

Log in to the GoodData Portal at https://secure.gooddata.com/.
Click Manage on the toolbar. The administration page opens.
