Deleting a QuickSight user account
| Intended audience: Amazon QuickSight administrators |
Accounts can be deleted by either an Amazon administrator or an Amazon QuickSight administrator. Deleting a QuickSight user account works the same in both the Standard and Enterprise editions of Amazon QuickSight.
Deleting a QuickSight user account removes or transfers their resources. In Enterprise edition, the network administrator can temporarily deactivate a QuickSight user account by removing it from the network group that has access to Amazon QuickSight. If a user is deleted, but not deactivated, that user can still access Amazon QuickSight as a new user. For more information about deactivating an Enterprise account, see Deactivating user accounts.
