Removing User Profiles

You can remove user profiles from your NVivo project.  When you remove a user profile, you must nominate a replacement profile, so that all project content associated with the deleted user profile can be reassociated with another user. Removing a user profile allows you to merge the work of two users together.

To remove a user profile:

  1. On the File menu, click Project Properties.

The Project Properties dialog box is displayed.

  1. Click the Users tab.

  2. Select the user profile you want to delete.

  3. Click Remove.

The Select User dialog box is displayed.

  1. Select a replacement user. All project content associated with the user you are removing, will be reassociated with the replacement user.

  2. Click OK.

The user profile is removed and all associated project content is reassociated with the replacement user.

 

You cannot remove the current user.

It is a good idea to make a copy of your project before you remove a user profile. Refer to Copying and Backing-up Projects for more information.
