4. Select the portal

5. Click the ellipsis menu

After Deletion:

After users are deleted from the DAM, portals they created are no longer accessible by anyone.

Group User Deletion: If you delete a group of users with active portals, contact the DAM Customer Support team to transfer ownership of the portals to other users.

Note that you should always ensure proper ownership transfer before user deletion to maintain uninterrupted access to portals.
