Bucket Explorer Team Edition is a tool for Bucket Explorer users, who want to share buckets / data with team members using single or more S3 accounts. Administrator can add or delete a user in list of team and can give/ change/withdraw different permissions to different team members. The team members can make use of all the permitted feature of the Bucket Explorer.

Delete team member in team edition
  1. Open  team.bucketexplorer.com .
  2. Login to team.bucketexplorer.com using your EmailID and password.
  3. Click on Manage User link on dashboard.
  4. There will be a list of all team members in a table.
  5. See the row for that team member whom you want to delete.
  6. Now click on Delete link at second last column Delete User of that row.
  7. It will prompt "Are you sure, you want to delete User '#user's email address#' ?"
  8. Click ‘Yes’ .
  9. A team user will be deleted and it will display a message on screen ‘User #user's email address#' Deleted’.

Remember that when a team edition user is deleted from the control panel, she can no longer connect to your S3 account, using the user id, password & token which were created to them with Bucket Explorer. How-ever she may still retain access to the token, license file and the user id file on their local machine. It is very difficult, expensive and time consuming, but is not impossible to decrypt the AWS id for the account, if someone has access to license file, password, token, email address and the user id file. So, if you are deleting a team member whom you suspect can try to attempt decrypting the AWS ids, we recommend that you change AWS secret key by logging on to your Amazon account and recertify existing users. Once a new secret key is created, it is impossible for the terminated team member to gain access to your S3 account.
