Admins have the ability to permanently delete users, which removes the user from the system. This might be necessary because of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or similar regulations, which grant individuals from certain regions the right to erasure or the right to be forgotten or deleted. When permanently deleting users and removing personally identifiable information (PII) from Zendesk products, you must consider whether the data captured in the audit log contains personal information that also needs to be removed.
This may be necessary, but it is important to understand that altering the audit log in this way can make it harder to accurately track your history.
- In Admin Center, click
Account in the sidebar, then select Audit log > Audit log. - Click Manage settings.
- Select Automatically delete PII and click Save.
When this setting is enabled, personal information in the actor, IP address, and item columns of the audit log is deleted automatically when a user is permanently deleted. Names are replaced with user IDs.
