Remove administrators

You can delete administrators if you're a Super Admin.

You can remove administrators in one of these ways:

  • Remove the administration role that's been assigned to a user.
  • Delete the user.

Removing an administration role from a user doesn't delete the user.

Remove an administration role from a user

To remove the admin role that's been assigned to a user, do as follows:

  1. Click the Global Settings icon Global Settings icon..
  2. Go to Access Control > Admins and Roles and select the Roles tab.
  3. Select the administration role from which you want to remove users.
  4. On the role details page, next to Role Members, click Edit.
  5. In Edit Role Members, select a user in the Assigned Users list and use the picker arrows to remove them.

Delete an administrator

To delete a user with an administration role, do as follows:

  1. Click the Global Settings icon Global Settings icon..
  2. Go to Access Control > Admins and Roles and select the Admins tab.
  3. Click the name of the administrator to open their user details.
  4. Click Delete user.

Note

Under the following circumstances, Sophos Central can automatically recreate the user:

  • If the user logs in to an associated device that Sophos Central still manages, Sophos Central adds them as a user again.
  • If a user was added using a directory service and is still in the directory service, then Sophos Central adds them as a user again the next time that it synchronizes with your directory service.
