• In the repository, open the startup user.
• Untick Login Allowed. 

Alternatively, delete the startup user; see Deleting Users, below.

view and manage user accounts:

• either in the Full Repository →

Users are classed as local, mixed or external depending on their authentication and authorisation configuration; see User.

• The user

• list groups users by these types.
• In the repository, users are grouped by the domain from which they authenticate or local, for users whose authentication is managed by PhixFlow.
  You can change users from local to mixed and mixed to local by dragging the user to a different domain in the repository.

User accounts are referenced in several places within PhixFlow

. For example a user may be the recipient of emails sent by file exporters or task plans. If a user account is deleted, all references to that user will be removed.

Log messages and audit trails will still maintain a record of the actions performed by a deleted user.
