### Editing a user
To edit a user, navigate to your **Employees** page.
%20(NavEXP)%20(Standard)%20Cropped%2c%20pointed%20to%20employees.png?width=670&height=201&name=Dashboard%20(6.9.26)%20(NavEXP)%20(Standard)%20Cropped%2c%20pointed%20to%20employees.png)
Find the employee who you want to edit and click their name, or click the **three dots icon** followed by **View Profile**.
If you don't see the employee you're looking for, you can use the search box in the top right corner to search by name.
%20Search%2c%20View%20Profile.png?width=670&height=284&name=Employees%20Page%2c%20Three%20Dots%20(Nav%20Bar%20Minimized)%20Search%2c%20View%20Profile.png)
On any tab you want to make changes on, click the **Edit** button in the top-right corner, and then make any necessary changes to the employee's information.
%20Pointed%20to%20edit.png?width=670&height=405&name=Employee%20Page%2c%20Another%20User%2c%20Personal%20(6.23.26)%20Pointed%20to%20edit.png)
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the **Save** (or **Update User**) button to update the tab.
%20Pointed%20to%20save.png?width=670&height=299&name=Employee%20Page%2c%20Another%20User%2c%20Personal%2c%20Save%20(6.23.26)%20Pointed%20to%20save.png)
If you switch tabs or leave the employee's profile before clicking **Save**, your changes will not be updated.
### Removing a user
There is no way to delete a user from CareerPlug completely. Instead, you must disable their access to your account.
There are 2 ways to remove a user's access depending on the parts of CareerPlug to which they have access. If you want to remove a user's recruiting access in the ATS, you can do so from the user's profile. If a user has access to your Onboarding, you should also remove their Administrator or Manager access from Onboarding.

#### Removing a user from the ATS
To remove a user's access to the ATS, navigate to your **Employees** page.
%20(NavEXP)%20(Standard)%20Cropped%2c%20pointed%20to%20employees.png?width=670&height=201&name=Dashboard%20(6.9.26)%20(NavEXP)%20(Standard)%20Cropped%2c%20pointed%20to%20employees.png)
Find the employee whose access you want to remove and click their name, or click the **three dots icon** followed by **View Profile**.
If you don't see the employee you're looking for, you can use the search box in the top right corner to search by name.
%20Search%2c%20View%20Profile.png?width=670&height=284&name=Employees%20Page%2c%20Three%20Dots%20(Nav%20Bar%20Minimized)%20Search%2c%20View%20Profile.png)
Navigate to the user's **Settings** tab and click the **Edit** button in the top-right corner of the page.
%20Pointed%20to%20edit.png?width=670&height=308&name=User%20Profile%2c%20Settings%20(Nav%20bar%20minimized)%20Pointed%20to%20edit.png)
Scroll down to the Permissions section, and remove the user's access by clicking the **No Recruiting Access** bubble.
%20(Nav%20bar%20minimized)%20Pointed%20to%20no%20recruiting.png?width=670&height=286&name=Employee%20Page%2c%20Another%20User%2c%20Settings%2c%20Permissions%20(6.23.26)%20(Nav%20bar%20minimized)%20Pointed%20to%20no%20recruiting.png)
Scroll to the bottom of the drawer and click the **Save** button.
%20Pointed%20to%20Save.png?width=670&height=307&name=User%20Profile%2c%20Settings%2c%20Edit%2c%20Save%20(Nav%20Bar%20Minimized)%20Pointed%20to%20Save.png)
Then you need to navigate to the **Job** tab and click the **Edit** button in the top-right corner.
%20Pointed%20to%20edit.png?width=670&height=346&name=Employee%20Page%2c%20Another%20User%2c%20Job%20Tab%20(7.14.26)%20Pointed%20to%20edit.png)
Scroll down to the Hire section and select Former from the **Status** drop-down, and then click the **Save** button.
%20Pointed%20to%20mark%20former%2c%20save.png?width=670&height=404&name=Employee%20Page%2c%20Another%20User%2c%20Job%2c%20Edit%20(7.24.26)%20Pointed%20to%20mark%20former%2c%20save.png)
#### Removing a user from Classic Onboarding
In Onboarding, go to the Employees page and click **Edit Employee** near the employee’s name.
On the Management tab, change the Employment Status to "Former Employee." If the employee was an Administrator or Manager, change their role to "Employee - Access to own information." Click **Save** at the bottom of the page.
The employee will now no longer have access to CareerPlug and will appear as a former employee on both the ATS Team page and on the Onboarding Employees page.
### Editing or removing multiple users at once
With CareerPlug, you can easily take action on multiple users from your **Employees** page. With the bulk select option, you can change which manager or location they're assigned to or their employment status.
1\. Navigate to your **Employees** page.
%20(NavEXP)%20(Standard)%20Cropped%2c%20pointed%20to%20employees.png?width=670&height=201&name=Dashboard%20(6.9.26)%20(NavEXP)%20(Standard)%20Cropped%2c%20pointed%20to%20employees.png)
2\. Click the checkbox to the left of whichever users you want to edit or remove.
3\. In the pop-up at the bottom of the screen, **Select an Action** using the drop-down menu. Regardless of which option you choose, a second drop-down menu will appear in the pop-up after making your selection.
- **Assign Manager**
- **Assign Status**
- **Assign Primary Location**
4\. Choose a new manager, status, or location using the second drop-down menu in the pop-up.
5\. Click the **Submit Change** button.
