In the right pane, you can edit the following information:

Delete a user
Deleting a user permanently removes all their information from your VideoManager Pro account. If you delete a user by mistake, you will need to create them again.
To delete a user, follow these steps:
In the list of all users, select the user you want to delete.
Click the Delete button at the top of the list.
In the confirmation dialog, click Delete again.
Disable a user
Disabling a user prevents them from accessing your account, but their data is still retained in your user management. This means that you can reactivate the user at any time without having to re-assign roles or permissions.
To disable a user:
In the list of all users, select the user you want to disable.
Click the Deactivate button at the top of the list.
In the confirmation dialog, click Deactivate again.
Please note: You can only reactivate disabled users if you have enough quota available. If you try to reactivate a user when you do not have enough quota, you will receive an error message.
Disabled users are marked accordingly in the administration area. This means that you can easily identify them and reactivate them if needed.
