How to Remove a User from Your Account

You can manage user in your account by suspending or removing them if needed.

This article is relevant to the legacy Dext experience. You can access the article for the enhanced Dext experience here.

Important: Account owner users are the first user added to an account and cannot be suspended or have their user privileges changed by any other user in the account. To do this to an account owner you must reach out to support.

You must be an admin user to remove a user. If you don’t see the ‘My Team’ menu, this would mean that you don’t have the required user privilege level. Reach out to your account administrator or your accountant/bookkeeper for assistance.

You have two options when removing a user from your account:

  • Suspending a user: all of their submitted paperwork will remain in the Dext Prepare account. The suspended user will not be able to submit any new documents, or log in to Dext to view or edit their items.
  • Removing a user: the user will be completely removed from your account, but all of their submitted paperwork will still remain in the Dext Prepare account. If you wish to have them in your account in the future you will need to create a new user for them again.
