Overview

There are times where a user should no longer have access to the Cosmos Portal and needs to be removed. This article will discuss how to remove a user from the Cosmos Portal.

Details

Cosmos makes it easy to completely remove users from the Cosmos Portal. Only users will the Administrator role assigned to them can add or remove users. In addition, an Administrator cannot delete themselves, this would need to be done by another Administrator. This is to prevent the only Administrator from being removed and then not having anyone with administrative privileges left in the organization.

It should also be noted that, since Cosmos relies on Azure Active Directory authentication, if a user's account is removed or disabled in Azure Active Directory that they will no longer be able to sign into the Cosmos Portal either.

To remove a user, you will first navigate to the Administration portal within Cosmos by clicking Administration under your profile.

Next, you will remove the user from any environments that they may currently have access to by going to the Environments section, clicking on your environment(s), and removing the user from any environments they are currently allowed to use by clicking the delete button on the right:

Once the user has been removed from all environments then you can go to the Users section and delete the user from Cosmos. 

Once the user has been deleted, they will no longer be able to log in to the Cosmos Portal and will need to be re-added if they need to have access in the future.
