Archive or Unarchive a Position or Position Folder

Archive a Position or Position Folder to keep your system clear of clutter without affecting existing users.

Positions, or job functions, are attributes that label and identify users so that other people in the system have a better understanding of who they are. These Positions are created and maintained by your organization and, once created, can be assigned to any General, Capture, Offline, Setup, or Inactive users.

Who can archive or unarchive a Position or Position Folder?

Anyone with the "Global User Administrator" permission can archive Positions and Position Folders.

People with other Administrator permissions may be able to access the Positions Administration page, but will not be able to make changes to it.
