Archive, Restore, and Delete Accounts

As a user logged in with an Account Type of Full Administrator or as a Client Administrator in Contacts, you can archive, restore, or permanently delete accounts. Archiving and restoring accounts provides a safer alternative to deleting. Archiving allows accounts to retain history and to be restored, along with their previous assignments, if needed.

If you archive or delete a WebEOC Nexus user through Contacts, their access to WebEOC Nexus is not affected. These actions only affect the user’s access to Contacts.

As a recommended approach:

  • Archive an account instead of deleting it to keep the account history and assignments recoverable.

  • Review archived accounts regularly to maintain clean records.

When an account is archived, the account is:

  • Unassigned from all notification groups and organizations.

  • No longer visible in the platform in any drop-down lists or on reports.

  • No longer available as a recipient on alerts.

  • Removed from board notifications.

  • Removed from the Active tab.

  • Displayed on the Archived tab.

When an account is restored, the account is:

  • Assigned to previous notification groups and organizations.

  • Visible in the platform in drop-down lists or on reports.

  • Available as a recipient on alerts.

  • Available in board notifications.

  • Visible on the Active tab.

  • Removed from the Archived tab.

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

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

  • A Client Administrator role in contacts
