Overview
This article explains how to edit or delete members in Hyver. You can change a member’s role, status, or remove them entirely if they no longer need access.
Only administrators can perform these actions. Admins cannot delete their own accounts.

Click the menu icon next to the member’s name.Select Edit member
From here, you can:Change the member’s role(s)
Update their status (e.g., set to Inactive)
Click Save to apply any changes.
Delete a member
Open the member menu
Click the menu icon next to the user’s name.Select Delete member
Confirm the deletion. Note that you cannot delete your own account:
What happens when a member is deleted
The user loses access to Hyver.
Their name will be replaced with a Deleted User label anywhere it appears in the system.
Associated data remains, including:
Comments (including mentions)
Ownership of assets
Audit log entries
Notification records
Any findings restricted solely to the deleted member will no longer be accessible to others.
Important notes
Deleting a member doesn’t delete their contributions — only their identity is anonymized.
If a member owns important restricted content, consider reassigning or sharing access before deletion.
Wrap-up / Next Steps
Editing and removing members is part of maintaining a secure, up-to-date team in Hyver. Take a moment to double-check roles and visibility before deleting a user — especially if they were working with restricted data.
