Delete users

You can remove users from your inventory manually or automatically using cleanup rules. For asset cleanup rules, see Manage asset cleanup rules.

Delete a user manually

1. Go to Users > Views.
2. Select the user you want to delete.
3. Select Delete.

Automatic cleanup rules

Cleanup rules remove users automatically based on conditions you set.

To configure cleanup rules:

1. In your Lansweeper site, go to Users > Settings.
2. Select Manage cleanup rules.
3. After configuring your rules, select Save changes.

All users

• Permanently delete users disabled in Active Directory — Removes users from your inventory if they're disabled in Active Directory. Only affects users that have been successfully scanned at least once.
• Permanently delete users not seen in the last X days — Deletes users from your inventory if they haven't been detected in the last X days. Only affects users that have been successfully scanned at least once.

Hybrid installations

If your site uses both Lansweeper Platform and Lansweeper Classic, cleanup rules are managed separately across both products. Enabling user cleanup rules in Lansweeper Platform will disable user cleanup rules in Lansweeper Classic.

If your site is linked to a Lansweeper Classic installation that currently manages your cleanup rules, saving changes in your site will permanently transfer cleanup rule management to Lansweeper Platform and disable on-premises management.
