Removing User access from HackerRank

Overview

As an admin of a particular team, you can remove/delete a user from that team if that member is no longer required. You can also remove a team altogether by removing all the members from that team.

This article talks about how you can remove user access from your HackerRank account.

Steps to Remove Member(s) from a Team

Prerequisites

• You must be an Admin for the team to edit these permissions.

Removing a User from a Team

1. On successfully logging into your HackerRank for Work account, click on the arrow next to the user icon on the top right corner of the homepage. This leads you to the Teams Management page.

2. Click on the Users tab to open the tab displaying all users. At the far right of a user's name, click on the vertical ellipsis menu to find the Remove option.

3. Select the team the user needs to be removed from. All the resources of that user, need to be transferred to another user before deleting/removing the said user.

4. Once you mention the team from which the user(s) needs to be removed, click on the Remove button, you will be prompted to transfer the ownership to other users. Select the user name to whom you want to transfer the ownership, and then click on the Transfer and Remove User button.

Removing all members of a particular team

1. When you want to delete an entire team, it is necessary to remove all members of the team first. You can do so by simply clicking on the team name, and deleting users from that team as shown below.

2. Before removing a user from all teams, you will have to transfer all their resources (tests, questions, interviews) to another existing user. Click 'delete' once all resources are reallocated. 

Locked State

When you remove a user account from all the associated Teams, it is automatically moved to the "Locked" state and can be reused later. Locked user accounts do not belong to any Team and do not have access to any shared resources.

A locked account can be reused anytime after unlocking and assigning the account to the required Team. Refer to the Locking and unlocking user accounts topic for detailed information about unlocking user accounts.

Once the user is removed from all the teams, they will be automatically moved to locked status. When a locked user tries to log into their account, they will see an error message as shown below.
