  1. Open the user profile

  2. Open ANVL Insights.

  3. Go to Users.

  4. Search for the user.

  5. Select the checkbox next to the user’s name.

  6. Select Modify > Modify User.

Remove Supervisor criteria

  2. Select Update to save the change.

Inactivate the user if needed

  1. Return to Users.

  2. Select the user again.

  3. Select Modify > Inactivate User.

  4. Select Agree to confirm.

Where Supervisors Appear

Users with Supervisor status appear in several places across ANVL:

  • As selectable options when assigning a Supervisor to another user

  • In Supervisor-related filters in Power BI reports

  • In oversight, alerting, and reporting workflows

When to Do This

Remove Supervisor status when:

  • You are attempting to inactivate a user

  • You see a message such as “Error: One or more users are supervisors” during inactivation

  • A user no longer needs to act as a Supervisor and should not appear in:

    • Supervisor selection lists

    • Supervisor-related reporting

This action is commonly required during offboarding or role changes.

Additional Details

  • A user is classified as a supervisor when they have both a phone number and ANVL Insights access.

  • Users with supervisor status cannot be inactivated until that status is removed.

  • Before inactivating the user, update any people who currently have that person assigned as their supervisor.

  • Removing supervisor status also removes the user from supervisor-related selections and reporting.
