Danger Zone

The Danger zone is the last tab of a project's Configuration page (tenants have one too). It holds the structural and irreversible actions — the things you can't casually undo — so they're kept away from everyday settings.

Most actions here can't be undone, and two of them (Transfer ownership, Delete) are restricted to administrators with Environment Access — a Project-Access admin sees: "This action is restricted to administrators with 'Environment Access'." See Administrators & Access Levels.

Deployment model​

Switch the project between single- and multi-tenant:

  • Switch to Multi-tenant — "Reversible only while there is 1 tenant."
  • Switch to Single-tenant — "Best for projects with a single tenant."

Changing the model reshapes where your users live (directly under the project vs inside tenants), which is why it lives here. See Managing Tenants and Project Overview & Configuration.

info

Once a project has more than one tenant, it can no longer become single-tenant. Older projects with no model set are treated as multi-tenant by default until you set one explicitly.

Transfer Project Ownership​

Transfer ownership moves the project to another environment, "ensuring the safe transfer of groups, users and other data." The receiving environment must supply an operation token (generated from its Manage environment → Operation tokens). For the full step-by-step procedure see Transfer ownership; see also Environment.

Delete this project​

Delete permanently removes the project and everything in it — "Once you delete a project, there is no going back." You confirm by typing the project's exact name.

danger

Deleting a project destroys its tenants, users, processes, and data. This cannot be recovered. If you only want to move the project, use Transfer ownership instead.

Tenant Danger zone​

A tenant has its own Danger zone (under Tenants → [tenant] → Danger zone) with one action:

  • Delete this tenant — permanently remove the tenant and its data ("Once you delete a tenant, there is no going back."), confirmed by typing its name.
danger

Deleting a tenant removes only that tenant's users and data — the rest of the project is unaffected. It's still irreversible.
