You may want to remove users from your QuickBase billing account for a number of reasons. You may have added a user by mistake, or you may want to make sure someone who has left your company no longer has access to your applications. If you simply need to ensure a user is not able to access any application in your billing account, you can use the Deny option.
Note: Some organizations may need to deactivate or delete users. Learn whether you need this option.

The Deny option lets you ensure that a user no longer has access to any of the applications in your billing account. Users who have access to applications in other QuickBase billing accounts will be able to continue using those applications, even after you've denied them access to your billing account.
When you deny a user, QuickBase places the user on the Deny list and prevents the user from logging into any application in your billing account.
A denied user still appears in the user list on the application's Manage Users page for any application to which they've been added. You can identify denied users easily; the text on deny list appears in red after the names of all denied users. You can remove these users from your application by using the Remove option on Manage Users page.
Use Deny in any situation where you want to prevent a verified user from accessing applications in your billing account. For example, suppose that a vendor outside of your company is a user in one of your QuickBase applications. In the middle of the project, you decide to switch vendors. You can use Deny to make sure the first vendor is not able to access applications in your billing account
Users who have been denied do not count toward your billing account's user limit.
Of course! You remove a user from the Deny list from the Deny tab on the Manage Billing Account page. The user will then be able to use applications in your account, according to his or her permissions. Read more about granting a denied user access again.
The Deny tab shows you all users who are on the Deny list; these users have been denied access to all applications in your account. On this tab, you can add users to the Deny list and grant a denied user access again. You can search for specific denied users by first name, last name, screen name, or email address, and use the Show dropdown to filter the list by status. The Show dropdown also allows you to filter by company membership if your company and associated email domains have been registered with QuickBase. (Read more about QuickBase Enterprise Edition. )
Your initial view of the Deny tab will vary, depending on the number of denied users in your account.
If you don't have a large number of denied users in your account, you'll see an unfiltered view of the Deny tab, as shown below:
You can click Customize this list to bring you to the pre-filter page (described below). Use the pre-filter page if you want to see a list of specific users based on email addresses, or if you want to apply two filters to the Deny list, such as status and company membership. You can apply one filter on the pre-filter page, and the other when viewing the Deny list.
If you do have a large number of denied users in your account, you'll see the pre-filter page when you open the Deny tab, allowing you to focus on one subset of users. The pre-filter page is shown below:
On the pre-filter page, you can choose to see the following:
A list of specific users (paste in a list of email addresses)
All users with a particular status
Only those users who belong (or who do not belong) to your company. Note that this option appears only if you are using QuickBase Enterprise Edition.
All users. (Note that, depending on how many users you are trying to display, you may experience some performance issues.)
When you choose a filter and click Show Users, you'll see a filtered view of the Deny tab. You then can apply a second filter using the Show dropdown, if needed.
You can use either the Deny tab or the Users with Access tab to add users to the Deny list.
Note that you cannot Deny a user who has account management permissions.
