List account purposes
Record active users, their roles, and the work each account supports. Include service accounts and avoid displaying private profile details unnecessarily.
Compare capabilities to tasks
Check the site's actual role behavior, including plugin modifications. Flag access that exceeds or fails to support the person's role.
Plan changes carefully
Confirm ownership, recovery access, and content responsibility before changing or retiring accounts. Use the platform's documented user-management process.
Verify the working experience
Test a representative task with the intended role and record who approves future access. Schedule another review when team responsibilities change.
Worked scenario
