      II. What it Means to Delete a User

      The following happens when a user is deleted by an Organization Admin:

      1. The user is removed from the People directory

      2. The user no longer has access to the Boardable platform

      3. The user no longer has access to any meetings they created or were invited to

      4. The user's name is removed from the Boardable meeting page for meetings they were invited to

        1. Deleted users can no longer be listed in meeting pages' attendance sections

      5. The user receives cancellation notifications for meetings they were invited to

      6. These meetings are removed from the user's calendar

      The following remains when a user is deleted:

      1. The user's name will still be displayed as the owner of meetings they previously created

      2. The user's name will still appear in comments, polls, or tasks they were involved in

      3. The user can be added back in and re-invited to Boardable with their information retained (the log in email address will need to be the same as previous until the user has logged in again - then the user can update it themselves if desired)

      4. Meeting pages created by the user will continue to be accessible via the platform, and events for these meetings will continue to populate invitees' calendars

      III. How to Identify Deleted Account

      When a person is deleted from an organization, there is no error message following attempted login. Instead, the organization from which they are deleted is not presented as an option after login.

      If the error message These credentials do not match our records or Cannot find an account with this email address appears during attempted login, this does not mean the account is deleted. Instead, one of the below is true:

      • The password is incorrect

      • The login address is out of date

      • The selected region does not match that of the organization's data server
