For below detailed workflows, users require full admin privileges to process.

Warning

Rapla will not allow you to delete a user account that has created one or more events. Instead we advise changing the password to "retire" user accounts that are no longer required.

  2. Simply create a new password for this inactive user, enter in twice.
