## Captured source text (untrusted evidence)

> The Directory module is divided into four sub-directories: Users, Staff, Tenants, Vendors, and Tags. Each user needs a profile in the system in order to access the app or dashboard, and these sub-directories are where you can manage profiles for all users, building staff, tenants, and vendors at your building. The Tags sub-page is where you can manage User Tags.

> Deleting and Suspending Users
> 
> By default, individual users cannot be deleted from the User Directory because permanent deletion is a powerful, irreversible action. For users who are no longer at your building, we recommend suspending their accounts instead. Suspending immediately removes access: the user is logged out and can no longer use the building app or the dashboard, while their account and historical information remain preserved.

> 
> Click on the edit icon next to their profile.

> Scroll down to Account Status and select Suspended.

> 
> Navigate to your directory.
> 
> Filter or search for the user(s) you'd like to suspend.
> 
> Click Bulk Actions and Set Account Status
