What Wildbook are you working in?
Grouper Spotter

What is the entire URL out of the browser, exactly where the error occurred?
Not a specific URL just a general questions

Can you describe what the issue is you’re experiencing?
If a user has added data to the platform and shared that data with other users and there are matched individuals between two users data etc. What happens if a user wants to leave the platform and delete all of their data. Will this cause a major disruption on the platform? Or will the data just be removed. Will the Individual IDs that once had that data matched be removed?

Can you provide steps on how to reproduce what you’re experiencing?

If this is a bulk import report, send the spreadsheet to services@wildme.org with the email subject line matching your bug report

Hi @accfish

@accfish

What happens if a user wants to leave the platform and delete all of their data.

It’s pretty unlikely for folks to delete all of their data when they leave. I’ve not encountered this happening, but it’s not typical. I suspect that the kind of people who are interested in participating in a collaborative scientific community are typically not the type to “take their toys and go home,” as they say.

Will this cause a major disruption on the platform? Or will the data just be removed. Will the Individual IDs that once had that data matched be removed?

It wouldn’t disrupt anything. If they delete their Encounters, then the data would just be removed. Individual IDs would only get deleted if every Encounter associated with that animal was also deleted.
