Revoke all administrative privileges from a team member, useful for role transitions or security purposes
Completely removes all admin roles from a member in a single operation. Essential for offboarding admins, responding to security incidents, or transitioning members to non-administrative positions. More efficient than removing roles individually.
watermint toolbox stores credentials into the file system. That is located at below path:
| OS | Path |
|---|---|
| Windows | %HOMEPATH%\.toolbox\secrets (e.g. C:\Users\bob.toolbox\secrets) |
| macOS | $HOME/.toolbox/secrets (e.g. /Users/bob/.toolbox/secrets) |
| Linux | $HOME/.toolbox/secrets (e.g. /home/bob/.toolbox/secrets) |
Please do not share those files to anyone including Dropbox support. You can delete those files after use if you want to remove it. If you want to make sure removal of credentials, revoke application access from setting or the admin console.
