Deleting users permanently and completely removes these user accounts from your district. The only exception is content they’ve added to the Campus Library (YouTube videos and websites). Users will no longer be able to log into Lightspeed Dashboard, Mobile Manager, or Classroom Orchestrator.
Use the delete_users.csv file to delete user accounts. This file MUST be named delete_users.csv. Files with any other name, case, or extension will be ignored.
Note: The file begins processing minutes after it is uploaded.
