90. What should I do if a teacher leaves the school?
When a teacher or staff member leaves your school, it’s important to remove their access to TrackAble to maintain data security and ensure compliance with GDPR. TrackAble allows administrators to either: Archive a user (recommended in most cases), or Permanently delete a user (GDPR-compliant removal)
Archiving a Teacher or Staff Member
Archiving removes the user’s access to TrackAble while keeping their historical activity available for audit and reporting purposes.
How to Archive a User
-
Go to Admin > Users
-
Locate the user you want to archive
-
Select the downward arrow to the right of Edit next to the user’s name
-
A confirmation message will appear
-
Click OK to archive the user, or Cancel to return without making changes
Once archived, the user will no longer be able to log in to TrackAble.
Deleting a User (GDPR)
In line with GDPR, TrackAble also gives you the option to permanently delete a user from your system. This should only be done when you are certain the user’s data is no longer required.
How to Permanently Delete a User
-
Go to Admin > Users
-
Select List Archived Users
-
Find the user you wish to delete
-
Click Delete on the right-hand side of the screen
-
A confirmation pop-up will appear
-
Click OK to permanently delete the user
What Happens After Deletion?
-
The user is permanently removed from TrackAble
-
Their name will appear as User: Deleted within the Audit Trail
-
This ensures system records remain intact while complying with data protection requirements
