When a user departs from your team, it is crucial to take the necessary steps to ensure that their access to FUB is completely revoked. While it might seem easier to simply rename the user or change their email address and password, this approach does not provide the same level of security. By choosing to delete the user account entirely, you not only remove their access to the team's resources but also eliminate their ability to log into mobile applications associated with the account. Moreover, deleting the user account effectively invalidates any API keys that were linked to that user. Therefore, by deleting the user, you ensure that no unauthorized access can occur through these keys, which could potentially lead to data breaches or other security incidents.
Removing a User
The owner and admins can remove users from their FUB account.
1. Go to Admin > Teams
2. Scroll down to the Desired User > Under the Actions column click Delete
3. Select an Agent to reassign the deleted agent's leads to > Yes, Delete Team Member
Note: This is a default message, even if the agent doesn't have any leads assigned to them you will still need to select an agent.
4. Lead reassignment will take place immediately and a tag of the deleted agent's name will be automatically applied to all reassigned leads.
Note: FUB does not send the deleted user a notice of this action. Please communicate termination with the user.
What happens to the deleted users...
Appointments
Appointments will remain on the lead profiles. However, the newly assigned agent is not added to the appointments automatically. We recommend that the newly assigned agent reviews the assigned leads to connect with the lead to confirm/reschedule appointments.
Agent Action Plans
With the Agent Action Plans Power-Up enabled, agent-created action plans will remain on the team account once the user is deleted.
Deals
The agent will be removed from any deals they're part of, and the deals will remain on the contacts where an admin can see/edit them as needed. Reporting for the deleted agent's deals will be removed from the account as soon as the user is deleted.
Notes, Calls, Texts, and Emails
Emails that were shared will remain shared after the agent is deleted. (Email attachments are not stored on FUB's servers, so any attachments can be accessed from the original email message but not through FUB.)
All notes, calls logs, and texts from the agent will also stay on the lead profiles.
Phone Number
The user's FUB number will automatically be released. All calls and texts to this number for 30 days will route to the owner of the account. After 30 days the forwarding is discontinued and the number is deleted from the account.
Scheduled Emails
Emails scheduled to be sent by the deleted user will not be sent.
Shared Email & Text Templates
Email templates and text templates that were created by the agent will be deleted when they are deleted. If they created templates that you want to keep, recreate the templates before removing the user.
Shared Smart Lists
As long as the Smart List is shared before deleting the agent, the smart lists will remain on the account.
Tasks
Manually created tasks are reassigned to the newly assigned agent. All tasks assigned by an action plan will be assigned to the newly assigned agent.
FAQ
If the deleted agent's phone number was being actively used and you want to be able to get inbound calls and texts to that number, you can move it to a Team Inbox.
- Go to Admin > Phone Numbers.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the deleted user and their phone number marked "Released."
- Click Actions and choose Move Number.
- Pick the Team Inbox you'd like the number to ring into. The best practice is to choose an inbox that's being actively monitored, such as your ISA's Team Inbox or the main Company Inbox, so that calls and texts will be responded to.
- Scroll to the top of the page and find the number in the Team Inbox section.
- Click Actions and choose Edit Label. The label will be seen next to calls/texts to this number, so be descriptive. For example, a label like "Bob's Old Number" makes it clear that the caller may be expecting to get Bob on the phone and allows you to pick up the conversation smoothly.
