Clear a profile versus deleting it

Choose the right action when a profile holder leaves: clear the profile to reuse its connected product, or delete it when the product should no longer be used.

Written by Elon Datt

Clearing and deleting a profile have different outcomes. Clear a profile when you want to reuse its connected physical product for another person. Delete a profile when the product should no longer be usable.

What happens

Clear profile

You are giving the same product to a new profile holder.

The previous profile is archived. A new blank profile is created and stays linked to the physical product.

Delete profile

You no longer need the profile or should prevent the connected product from being used.

The profile is permanently removed and the connected product is no longer usable through that profile.
