Delete and restore an organization
Seven-day delayed permanent deletion, confirmation, emailed restore link, expiry, and irreversible final deletion. Owner.
Overview
Seven-day delayed permanent deletion, confirmation, emailed restore link, expiry, and irreversible final deletion. Owner. Follow the steps below in order, then verify the result before moving on. Organization administration controls shared settings, member access, roles, page visibility, integrations, and lifecycle actions.
Before you begin
Open this workflow with the account and organization that own the relevant data. MediaFox evaluates access at the time of each action, so a visible page does not always mean every control is editable.
If you are following this guide with a teammate, agree on the organization, page selection, date range, and intended result before either person saves changes.
- Sign in and select the organization that owns the pages, content, users, or settings involved.
- Open Manage Organization or User Management in the organization navigation and clear unrelated filters before you begin.
- Use an organization owner account for owner-only settings and lifecycle actions.
How to delete and restore an organization
Work through the controls from top to bottom. Keep the current organization visible in the navigation and review inherited or existing values before replacing them.
- Open the correct workspace
Sign in to MediaFox, select the organization you want to work in, and open Manage Organization or User Management in the organization navigation.
- Verify the destructive target
Open the exact item, review its identifiers and dependencies, and make sure you intend to delete and restore an organization.
- Seven-day delayed permanent deletion
Review seven-day delayed permanent deletion and choose the value that matches your intended result.
- Confirmation
Review confirmation and choose the value that matches your intended result.
- Emailed restore link
Review emailed restore link and choose the value that matches your intended result.
- Expiry
Review expiry and choose the value that matches your intended result.
- Irreversible final deletion
Review irreversible final deletion and choose the value that matches your intended result.
- Review and confirm
Read any validation, permission, or confirmation message before saving. Continue only when the selected organization, pages, dates, and settings are correct for “Delete and restore an organization”.
Check the result
The task is complete when the organization, member, permission, notification, or integration state shows the saved change. Reopen the item or refresh the list once to make sure the saved state is not only local to the current form.
For publishing, moderation, imports, exports, or background processing, also check the resulting lifecycle or activity state. A successful save can still be followed by platform processing, collection, or review.
- Confirm the organization, page, item, and date or timezone shown in the result.
- Look for a success message, updated status badge, activity entry, or changed timestamp.
- Keep the item ID or public URL when another teammate needs to verify the result.
Troubleshooting
If the result is missing or an action is unavailable, do not assume the data was lost. MediaFox can hide controls because of role, page access, organization allowlists, add-ons, lifecycle state, or an external platform limitation.
- Confirm whether the action requires owner status or a specific user-management permission.
- Check role rank, page access, pending invitations, and whether another owner is required.
- Review Audit Log after sensitive changes to confirm who changed what and when.
Availability and access
Some or all actions in this guide require the Owner role.
