Archive, Restore, and Delete Positions

As an administrator, you can archive, restore, or permanently delete positions. Archiving and restoring positions provides a safer alternative to deleting them. Archiving allows positions to retain history and to be restored, along with their previous assignments, if needed.

Ensure that the position’s users are assigned to another position with the access they require before archiving or deleting the position.

Archiving, restoring, and deleting are all tracked as events in the audit log.

As a recommended approach:

• Archive a position instead of deleting it to keep the position history and assignments recoverable.

• Review archived positions regularly to maintain clean records.

When a position is archived, the position is:

• Unassigned from all organizational groups and feature groups.

• Unassigned from all users.

• Removed as an option in all drop-down lists, including the Profile drop-down in the top right and the Select Position and Incident dialog that may be visible during the login process.

• No longer visible in the platform or on reports.

• Removed from board notifications.

• Removed from the Positions tab.

• Not selectable as board-notification recipients or scheduled-notification recipients. The recipient pickers for each of these notification types do not include archived positions.

• Displayed on the Archived Positions page.

When a position is restored, the position is:

• Assigned to previous organizational groups and feature groups.

• Assigned to previous users.

• Available as an option in all drop-down lists, including the Profile drop-down in the top right and the Select Position and Incident dialog that may be visible during the login process.

• Available on the platform or in reports.

• Available on the Positions tab.

When you restore a position, board notification configuration is not updated. In other words, you must restore position assignments to board notifications manually.

To archive, restore, or delete positions, you must be either:

• An Account Type of Full Administrator. Users of this type can archive and restore any position.

• A Partial administrator of an Admin Profile that has the Positions Admin Manager assigned with the Delete permission enabled. See Admin Profiles for details.
