Only an Administrator can delete user accounts and deleting a user removes that user's account from the Nauta software; therefore, that user will not be able to log in to the system. This will halt and remove all experiments and pods; however, all artifacts related to that user's account, such as the users input and output folders and all data related to past experiments they have submitted remain. To create a User Account, refer to Creating a User Account.
