Inactive secondary users to be removed from Seller Central accounts
To better protect your Seller Central account and keep your data secure, each quarter we’ll remove secondary users on your account who are inactive for more than 12 months.
This change offers you the following:
Increased security: The removal of inactive users reduces potential access risks by bad actors and improves account safety.
Simplified access management: Helps you manage permissions more efficiently and helps prevent any unauthorized access.
If needed, you can go to Set and edit user permissions to add removed users if they still need access to your account.
Well, they didn’t take my advice on allowing a user to remove themself from the account but if this works correctly I won’t have 40’ish U.P. accounts showing up under mine!
Overall I’m happy they are finally doing something after all my complaints.
Our thought would be that a primary user who relies on secondary users might want to sign in every 3 months or so as a precaution just in case there is a bug in the implementation.
So a primary couldn’t remove a secondary from their account?
I really don’t foresee a Primary getting deleted, but I guess it could happen. Either way if you own an account and aren’t signing in at least every few days (or at a minimum once a week) you have no business having an account.
I’ve had issues getting my access removed for the last few years. The method given eventually was to delete “Global” Permissions" first and then delete the user. Somehow though I can still access other accounts even though they show I was deleted.
ETA - Many accounts showing up under my name left the scene years ago and I can’t get a hold of. This goes wayyyy back, so I’ll be thankful to see them go!
They have actually and finally removed a bunch of old accounts from my list that I’ve not accessed in years! I only see a few that I’ve not accessed within the last year, and I could always be wrong about that.
That they’ve changed the formatting/look/GUI in Seller Central’s Account Switcher a little bit.
Judging from the multiple NSFE posts today by folks not being able to login past the Account Switcher functionality, I suspect this revision isn’t rolling out as smoothly as might be hoped:
It would be interesting to learn if the eventual fix comes along with a dispensation for those who couldn’t ship FBM orders through no fault of their own…
I just looked, and there’s a technical info banner about the log-in problem(s) - which some of the affected users in the ‘main’ thread have responded to, indicating that they can now log in.
I truly do think that the Marketplace Switcher revamp likely played a role in this…
