Disabling and Deleting User Accounts

IBM Aspera Shares allows you to disable or delete user accounts.

Disabling an account removes all log in and transfer privileges, including logging into the API, but retains the account and its configuration settings. To reinstate access to the user, you can enable the account without adding them to Shares again.

Deleting an account removes all log in and transfer privileges, as well as the account and its configuration settings. To reinstate access to the user, you must add them again as a new user.
