Update automatic purge types


Article Summary

As part of your site's user data management, you can update the automatic purge types set for individual users. First, you will need to set up at least one automatic purge type. Then, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Quick-access menu > Users > Accounts.
  2. Click Manage users
  3. Find the user for which you wish to update the automatic purge type.
  4. Click the stack icon () next to their name.
  5. Click the cog icon () next to the automatic purge type you wish to update.
  6. Select the purge type you wish to set from the dropdown list.
  7. Click Update. You will now be presented with a summary of the data to be purged.
  8. Click Save changes.

If you do not set up either automatic purging or a default deleted purging type before a the user is deleted then no purge type will be applied when the user is deleted (either individually or via a bulk action).
