Review your users' activity

- You can see the user's last login and last login IP. You can also view users' last login details in the Users dashboard.
Removing a user from your CMS
Disable a user account
This is the best way to prevent a user from logging in. In order to keep your logs intact, we do not recommend deleting old users.
- Go to your website CMS > Admin > Users > New record.
- Click the pencil edit icon in your chosen record.
- Turn off their Enabled on website.
Our security tips
We are constantly refining and enhancing our security processes within the organisation and adding security logging and processes to our systems. It is also important to manage your website in a secure way.
- Use a strong and unique password. We recommend using a password generator and manager such as LastPass or 1Password.
- Change your passwords periodically. See this guide, if you forget your password.
- We also encourage clients to consider who needs access to their website and ensure that everyone that needs access is reviewed periodically too.
