How to deactivate a staff account without deleting it

  1. 1Click Users under Administration in the sidebar
  2. 2Find the person and click the Actions button at the end of their row
  3. 3Click Deactivate — there's no confirm, and a note says they can no longer sign in
  4. 4Their attendance, grades and notes all stay — the row dims and shows an Inactive badge
  5. 5To let them back in, open the same Actions menu and click Reactivate
  6. 6Click the Inactive chip at the top of the table to find everyone who has been switched off — nothing was deleted

Part of School setup & the year cycle
