How to Bulk Delete Users - Permanently

After soft deleting users, Company Administrators can permanently delete users in bulk using the Bulk Delete feature. Cadmins can now select up to 50 users who were previously soft deleted to permanently delete in the Manage deleted users page. 

Note: the items per page option should be set to 25 or 50 in order to use the select all option. This is due to only being able to permanently delete for 50 users at a time outside of the below .csv file delete.

When permanently deleting users from the main page, you will want to select them in the groups per the reason why you are permanently deleting them. There are four choices, Company Policy, GDPR Delete, User Request, and Other. 

How to bulk delete users:

1. 1. From your Administration menu, select Manage deleted users.
      
      
   2. Click on the Request Bulk Delete icon in the top right hand corner.
      
   3. Click on the Download template button to download the .CSV file.
      
      
   4. Complete the required fields by entering the usernames of the users you wish to permanently delete within the Username field.

   5. Enter the value of “delete” within the action column for each user that is to be permanently deleted.
      • Note: Deleted users will not be able to log in to Brainshark.
   6. In the reason column, you must enter a value of “Company Policy”, “GDPR Delete”, “User Request”, or “Other” for each row.
