Disable, Revoke, or Delete Users in Venn

As a Company Manager, you can manage user access in Venn. You can grant user access and remove access with the following actions:

Approach to Removing Users Based on Identity Provider

  • 3rd Party IdP with SCIM Provisioning: If your company has an integration set up with a Third-Party Identity Provider with SCIM provisioning, you will manage access to Venn through Okta, Entra/Azure, or JumpCloud and user status will be synced over to Venn.
  • 3rd Party IdP without SCIM Provisioning: If you are using Google Workspace or Okta without SCIM Provisioning as your IdP, you must remove user access to Venn in Company Admin to remove users from Venn. You may want to also unassign the app in your IdP.
  • Venn as IdP: If you are not using a Third-Party Identity Provider, you will manage user access to Venn in Company Admin.

Disable a User Account

As a Company Manager, you can disable an active user's account, which will freeze access to their account. Disabling an account will prevent anyone from signing in to their account, but preserve their account information and activity and any files they have saved in Workplace Drive.

If you expect that you will need to have access to a user's account information in the future, you may want to disable their account instead of permanently deleting it. This will allow you to be able to reactivate the account if needed.

To disable a user:

  1. Navigate to login.venn.com and sign in with valid credentials.
    You may be required to verify the sign-in by completing the multifactor authentication on your mobile device.
  2. Click Company admin or Manage > Company admin.

Delete a User Account

As a Company Manager, you can delete a user account, which permanently eliminates all their account history and any files that they have saved in Workplace Drive.

Once a user's account has been deleted, it can no longer be recovered.

    You may be required to verify the sign-in by completing the multifactor authentication on your mobile device.
