You can't delete a client portal, but as a workaround you can reallocate it to another client and users.. We recommended renaming and removing the users and contributors from the portal.  This will stop your ex-clients from being able to access the documents.

Before reallocating, you need to remove any existing associated tasks and documents. If you don't, you may run into security problems, with documents from different clients in a portal that shouldn't be there. We advise caution when doing this.

We don't recommend reallocating/reusing a Portal.  This can cause security issues if the portal is not cleared correctly.

If you use Document Manager in your practice, make sure to read the Document Manager section on this page.

Don't forget to download copies of signed files before deleting them.

  1. Open MYOB Practice and delete all documents associated with the client portal that is no longer required.

  2. Delete all tasks associated with the client portal that is no longer required.
  3. Edit the unwanted portal's details.
    1. Rename the client portal.If you're not reallocating the portal to another client straight away, rename the client We recommend renaming the client portal to something like Unused Portal, so that you know that it is available for future use.
    2. Add new clients and then remove existing clients. If you're not reallocating the portal to another client straight away, add a test client so that you have the ability to allocate it in the future, as each client portal must contain at least one client.
    3. Add new users and then remove any existing users. If you're not reallocating the portal to another client and users straight away, you can use the practice's generic email address in this instance, so that you can allocate other users in the futureclosed. For example: ClosedBob Jones.
    4. Remove existing users: To ensure your client can no longer access the portal, remove all the portal users and contributors and add your practice’s email as a user. We don’t delete documents as they are synced back to Document Manager and deleting would break the link.

      The above steps provide a stepped approach to the management of portals and may prevent the loss of complete portals with documents which that may require reinstatement in the future.
