Remove User Wizard

The Remove User wizard is used to remove a user record from the catalog. If a user moves out of the library district or graduates from a school or university, that user record should be removed from the database.

You cannot remove a user record if the user has items currently checked out, holds, unpaid bills, unanswered requests, unread library messages, dispatches, has a charge history, or if the user’s profile is protected. If the user record cannot be removed because of one of these conditions, an alert window will display. You must address the reason for the alert before you can remove the user record. Go to FAQs: Removing User Records.
