When you delete a customer's portal-only account, they won't be able to log in to your portals to raise requests and view articles. You can't restore an account once it's been deleted. If you think you’ll need this account at another point in the future, we suggest you revoke access instead.
Organization admins and site admins can delete a customer’s portal-only account.
