Allow Members to Delete Their Accounts
The Allow members to delete their own accounts toggle determines whether members can permanently remove their account from your community.
When enabled, members will see a delete option within their profile settings. When disabled, only site administrators can remove accounts. Toggle the setting according to your community’s policy.
Note: Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Enabling this option gives members full control over their data but removes their profile, content, and activity from your community entirely.oss displays a social preview card showing how your content will look when shared publicly, including the Open Graph image, site title, description, and shared URL.
