Danger Zone

The Danger Zone contains destructive actions for your organization and user accounts. These actions are irreversible; PawPlacer requires explicit confirmation before any of them are carried out.

There are two Danger Zone pages: one under Organization Settings for actions that affect the whole team, and one under User Settings for actions that affect your personal account.

Organization Danger Zone

Accessing the Organization Danger Zone

1. Navigate to Settings from the sidebar
2. Make sure you're viewing Organization Settings (the default)
3. Click Danger Zone at the bottom of the sidebar (marked with a red warning icon)

Leave Organization

If you're a team member (not the owner), you can leave the organization. This removes your access to the organization's data and takes effect immediately. You'll need to be re-invited if you want to rejoin later.

Delete Organization

Organization owners can permanently delete the organization. This removes all data associated with the organization, including pets, adopters, fosters, volunteers, medical records, and all settings; this action cannot be undone.

Remove Users

Owners and admins can remove team members from the organization. Removing a user revokes their access but does not delete their PawPlacer user account; they can still log in and use other organizations they belong to.

To remove a user:

1. Click Remove User
2. Select the team member from the dropdown (if there's only one eligible member, they're shown automatically)
3. Read the warning about what removal means
4. Type REMOVE in the confirmation field
5. Click the confirmation button

Permanently Delete Users

Owners and admins can permanently delete a user's account entirely. Unlike removal, this deletes the user's PawPlacer account; it's not just their membership in your organization.

To delete a user:

1. Click Delete User
2. Select the team member from the dropdown
3. Read the warning about what permanent deletion means
4. Type DELETE in the confirmation field
5. Click the confirmation button

Who Can Manage Users

• Owners can remove or delete any member except themselves
• Admins can remove or delete members, but not owners or themselves
• Standard members cannot remove or delete anyone

Personal Danger Zone

Accessing the Personal Danger Zone

1. Navigate to Settings from the sidebar
2. Toggle to User Settings using the switch at the top of the sidebar
3. Click Danger Zone at the bottom of the sidebar

Delete Your Account

You can permanently delete your own PawPlacer account. This removes your user account and all personal data. If you're the owner of an organization, you'll need to transfer ownership before you can delete your account.

Permissions

The organization-level Danger Zone is only visible to users with Admin or Owner access. The personal Danger Zone is available to all users for their own account.
