One step closer to being GDPR-compliant

We’re rolling out a significant platform update focused on user data control and deeper system cleanup. This release introduces user deletion for admins and ensures that all related resources are fully purged across the platform.

What’s New

1. 🗑️ Delete Users — Admins with Manage Users permission can now delete other users. Business entities are transferred to the acting admin and all personal data is removed.

2. 🧹 Extensive Cleanup — Deleting products, communities, or users now triggers full removal of all associated media files, memberships, and resources.

3. 👱‍♀️ Edit user's name - Admins with Manage Users permission can now change user's name.

Delete Users 🗑️

Admins can now remove users securely. All business entities owned by the deleted user are reassigned to the admin performing the action, while personal data is purged to support future compliance work.

Why it matters

- Establishes a foundation for GDPR-aligned data handling

- Allows responsible lifecycle management of user accounts

- Helps admins maintain accurate ownership of business entities

Learn more in the documentation about data purging and deletion workflows.

Extensive Cleanup 🧹

The system now ensures that all resources created during an entity’s lifecycle—such as media files, memberships, and linked resources—are removed when that entity is deleted.

Why it matters

- Prevents buildup of unused files

- Reduces storage consumption

- Lowers hosting costs for self-hosted users
