Reassigning work for a deactivated user

Roles and permissions

The following roles can reassign work:

  • Administrators

When a user is deactivated manually, you can reassign their work to another Hyperproof user during the deactivation process. If you choose to skip that step, the user's work remains unassigned until you reassign it later.

If you have configured the Deactivate inactive users option under Settings > Security > Accounts, users are deactivated automatically based on their number of days of inactivity. In this case, the deactivated user's work also remains unassigned and needs to be reassigned. When the user is deactivated, all administrators in the organization are notified and reminded that the user's work must be reassigned.

To reassign work for a deactivated user

  1. From the left menu, select Settings.

  2. Select the People tab.

  3. Locate the deactivated user, then click Reassign work. Note that the Reassign work link disappears once you reassign the user's work.

    The Reassign work window displays.

  4. From the Assign their work to drop-down menu, select a user to receive the assigned work.

    • Objects that can be reassigned from the Deactivated User to the New User:

      • Controls created by the Deactivated User

      • Labels created by the Deactivated User

      • Proof uploaded by the Deactivated User

      • Policies owned by the Deactivated User

      • Tasks assigned to the Deactivated User

      • Approvals assigned to the Deactivated user

      • Programs created by the Deactivated User

      • Audits created by the Deactivated User

    • Objects that can't be reassigned from the Deactivated User to the New User:

      • Repeating task templates created by the Deactivated User. The repeating tasks must be recreated by the New User, or tasks will no longer be created from the template.

      • Integrated tasks created by the Deactivated User. For example, Hyperproof tasks integrated with Jira or Asana can't be reassigned.

      • LiveSync connections created by the deactivated user. The connections must be recreated by the new user.

  5. Click Reassign.

    A popup message displays indicating that the work reassignment was successful.

Note: Reassigning a deactivated user also reassigns their group membership.

For example, a member of the Legal team group leaves the organization, and their work is reassigned to a new team member. The new team member is automatically added to the Legal team group.
