Deleting a Redmine user

Updated on 2023-04-11  •  Created on 2007-10-17  •  MAEDA Go

If you delete a user, the author or updater of the information that the user created or updated becomes "Anonymous". You can no longer see who created or updated it. In addition, the Assignee of the issues that were assigned to the user becomes blank.
Unless you have a special reason, we recommend that you lock the user instead of deleting the user.
