Delete Users from Guidelines, Projects, and Libraries
Just as easy as you invite someone to Frontify, you can – provided that you're an account owner or editor – delete team members from guidelines, projects, and libraries again.
To do this, you can either enter the relevant guidelines, projects, and libraries or delete users through the User Management page. For the latter, follow these steps:
Enter a specific guidelines, project, or library
Click the team icon in the Power Bar.
Select the user you want to delete.
Click the three-dot menu.
Click "Delete" and confirm the action.
Note: Removing users from guidelines, projects, or libraries prevents their access to those specific spaces. This is useful when you want to restrict access without deleting the user from the entire platform.
Delete Users through the User Management - Enterprise Only
On the Enterprise plan, if you’re an account owner, you can delete users through the user management page. If you do so, you will completely remove a user from the platform and pass over the ownership of the projects to another user.
Locate the user you want to delete using the search under the ‘Users’ tab.
Click the bin icon and a popup will appear allowing you to search and select the user that will take over the ownership of all the projects that the removed user was the creator or the only owner of.
Once the user who will take over the ownership is selected, you can delete the user:
Important! Deleting a user in this way, she will be removed from all the guidelines, projects, and libraries she is part of.
Remove users from single guidelines, projects, and libraries from within the user management.
Note that you can also remove users from single guidelines, projects, and libraries from within the user management. When you switch to either the ‘Guidelines’, ‘Projects’, or ‘Libraries’ tab and then click on the team icon, you’ll find an overview of all the spaces available including a contributor list. Simply choose the contributor you want to remove, click the three-dots menu, and delete the user.
Restricting Access to Guidelines (Alternative to Archiving)
Frontify does not have an archive feature for guidelines. Your options are to either delete the old guidelines or keep them on your account while restricting access.
If you would like to keep the guidelines but prevent others from using them, you can remove all invited users. Here's how:
Option 1: Within the Guideline
Use the team icon in the left-side power bar to remove users and groups from the guideline one by one.
Option 2: Via Access Management Page (For Admins)
If you have admin rights, you can remove users in bulk:
Go to access management
Find the guideline you want to restrict
Click on the number under the "Users" column
Remove access for all users and groups
Important: Keep in mind that guidelines left on your account will count toward your storage limit. This approach effectively "archives" a guideline by preventing access while preserving the content on your platform.
