Solved

eSupport how do I delete accounts for inactive accounts?

I manage eSupport access for my users, some of which have left the company. How do I remove these accounts from the eSupport account management list?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @tjerome , 

If you click on the username you would like to remove, you should see a "Convert to Basic" option at the bottom of the user details page:

This removes the association between the user and your customer number, converting the user to a prospect account with PTC with no access to any paid services. If the user then moves to another company, they can change their details, including email address, and re-upgrade (provided they have their new company's PTC customer number and SCN|SON|Site#) . This way, they are able to retain their interactions as an individual in the PTC Community, as well as any certifications. 

Please let me know if this helps,

Peter.

Thank you PeterCase for that suggestion, unfortunately when I click on a user, there is no other action available from that Account Management pane.

The Convert to Basic option is available however when I go into my own account and look at the settings.

Hi,

Thanks for that solution, it works well with single users, doing it one by one.

Do you have a way to convert multiple users quickly ? It’s a mess in our organisation, and i have to clean many obsolete accounts...
