Auto-delete inactive users?

Is there a way on Moodle cloud to auto-delete user accounts that have been inactive for a specified period of time. I don't mean to unenroll or inactivate participants in a course. I mean to delete the user account all together.

HI Laurie,
You can manually delete user accounts permanently (Log in as Site Administrator, Click Site Administration, Click Users, Browse list of users, then click delete icon (bin) next to the user you want to delete.

There is no auto-delete feature.

Hi Laurie,

Maybe this plugin is what you are looking for: https://moodle.org/plugins/tool_usersuspension/versions

I share this with the note that you have to be absolutly sure that you want to do this automatically, since well - code just does what we tell them to do, and restoring accounts is A) not easy en B) full with risks since you will not always get all the data back (especially using GDPR rules).

You can also choice for creating a report in Moodle that shows you the accounts that have not been used in a specifiec period of time, so you can go through them . Download this report, and use the Moodle User upload way to remove those you want.

Hi Laurie,

Please bear in mind, MoodleCloud sites have a number of selected plugins installed. To keep the platform simple and stable for all users we do not allow you to install your own plugins.

MoodleCloud sites are designed to be easy to use, and come with the Boost theme. Your site is preconfigured with the plugins that are made available in the standard Moodle version along with an integrated open source web conferencing System, BigBlueButton.

Many thanks,
