Deleting a user (administrator, editor, author, etc.) from your personal blog
You can remove a user's access to your personal blog when you no longer want that person to have access.
Before You Begin
You can remove users which you have added to your personal blog. Removing a user from your blog means that person will no longer be able to make changes or post to your personal blog.
You can also change a user's role rather than remove the person. For more information, refer to 1599: Changing a user's role (administrator, editor, author, etc.) on your personal blog.
Deleting a User from Your Personal Blog
If you no longer want a person to have the ability to make changes to your personal blog, you need to delete his or her user account from your blog. This process only removes the user from your personal blog (it does not delete the user from the blog system or impact his or her ability to make changes to another blog).
To delete a user from your personal blog, do the following:
- Go to http://my.ilstu.edu.
- Log in to your personal blog with your ULID and password.
- Under Users on the left, click Authors and Users.
- You may need to click Users to expand that panel so you can see the Authors & Users option.
- Put a check mark next to each user you want to remove from your personal blog.
- Click the Bulk Actions menu and select Delete.
- Then click Apply.
- You are asked, "What should be done with posts and links owned by this user?"
- If you want all posts and links made by this user to be removed from your personal blog, select Delete all posts and links.
- If you want to keep the posts and links made by the user, select the second option, Attribute all posts and links to:. Then choose a user from the drop-down menu.
- Click Confirm Deletion.
The person you removed no longer has access to your personal blog.
