Removing an authorized user & Removing password protection

Remove authorized users when they no longer should have access to a particular directory. This maintenance task is often forgotten and leaves a hole in your security, so remember to perform this procedure as soon as it is required.

To remove an authorized user:

1. Click on the Password protect directories button on the home page.

2. Navigate to the required directory. Select a folder by clicking on the folder name link. Open a folder by clicking on the folder icon.

3. Select the required user in the Active Users list.

4. Click on the Delete User button.

Remove password protection on a directory when you no longer want other users to have access to that directory. You do not need to remove user authorization for the directory when removing password protection, as all the users will be automatically deleted when you remove the protection.

To remove password protection from a directory:

1. Click on the Password protect directories button on the home page.

2. Navigate to the protected directory. Select a folder by clicking on the folder name link. Open a folder by clicking on the folder icon.

3. Untick the tick box next to the icon.

4. Click on the Save button.
