How to Delete a Staff Member

This guide shows you how to delete a Staff Member, reassign an Instructor's classes, remove Owner status first if needed, and keep someone's access in a different role instead.

Written by Costa Bontioti

📝 Overview

You can delete a staff account at any time, for example when someone leaves your business. Deleting a Staff Member removes all of their access to your Business Dashboard and any association with the classes they instruct.

This guide shows you how to delete a Staff Member, what to do if they are an Instructor or an Account Owner, and what to consider if you would rather keep their access in a different role.

⛔️ Deleting a Staff Member cannot be undone.


🗑️ Deleting a Staff Member

Staff Members are deleted from the Staff section of your Business Dashboard. If the Staff Member is an Instructor, you will be asked to assign their classes to another Instructor before the profile is deleted.

  1. Go to Staff ➜ Staff Management.
    ​

  2. Click Options next to the Staff Member ➜ Delete.
    ​

    Deleting a Staff Member from the Options menu

  3. If the Staff Member is an Instructor, choose another Instructor to take over their classes.
    ​

  4. Click Delete in the pop-up to confirm.


🔑 Deleting an Account Owner

Account Owner profiles cannot be deleted while they still have Owner status. Remove their Owner status first, and you will then be able to delete them like any other Staff Member.

Go to Staff ➜ click Options next to the Staff Member ➜ Remove as Owner, then follow the steps above.

⚠️ Only Account Owners can add or remove other Account Owners, and your account needs at least one Account Owner. See the guide on Account Owners here.


🔄 Keeping Access in a Different Role

If the person should keep access to your Business Dashboard but no longer teach, you do not need to delete them. Deactivate their Instructor status instead, so they keep their staff access in a non-Instructor capacity.

💡 You can also change what someone can access by updating their permissions.
