Why This Matters

Users classified as Supervisors cannot be inactivated until their Supervisor status is removed.

Understanding when and how to remove Supervisor status prevents:

  • Failed inactivation attempts

  • Incomplete offboarding or team-assignment cleanup


What Defines Supervisor Status in ANVL

A user is classified as a Supervisor in ANVL when both of the following are true:

  • The user has a phone number on their profile AND

  • The user has ANVL Manager (ADMIN) access

Supervisor status is a system classification, not a job title.


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

Supervisor assignment in a User profile.


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.
