The Delete My Account action allows users to permanently delete their accounts on the Kuika platform. This action means that all data belonging to the relevant user will be irretrievably deleted from the application.

This action can only be used by the logged-in user for themselves. This action cannot be performed for another user.

Technical Features

Delete Your Account: The user can completely remove their account from the system.
Irreversible Action: Once the action is completed, it cannot be undone.
Web & Mobile Support: The action is compatible with both web and mobile platforms.

Delete My Account Action Application Steps

Define the Action in UI Design

Log in to the Kuika platform.
Open the project you will be working on from the Apps screen.
Go to the UI Design module.
Create the element that will initiate the deletion process (e.g., ‘Delete My Account’ button).

Select the button and add the Authorisation > Delete My Account action from the + ADD ACTION menu according to the desired trigger event (Initial Actions, OnClick, OnBlur, etc.).

Usage Scenario: Permanently Deleting a User's Account

When a user wants to completely leave the application, they should be able to delete their account and all their data permanently.

Application Flow:

Element: ‘Permanently Delete My Account’
- → Added as a button.
Trigger: OnClick
- → The action is initiated when the button is clicked.
Actions:

Confirmation:→ The following warning is displayed to the user: ‘This action cannot be undone. Your account and all your data will be permanently deleted. Are you sure you want to continue?’
Authorisation → Delete My Account: → The user's account and all associated data are permanently removed from the system.
Session → Logout: → The user's session is terminated.
Navigate: → The user is redirected to a screen such as LoginPage or GoodbyePage.

Before the process, the user must be clearly informed that this action cannot be undone. If necessary, password verification can be requested from the user to increase process security.

Delete My Account Action Advanced Customisations

Pre-Deletion Confirmation Dialogue: A Confirm Dialog can be used to display a warning to the user before the action, such as ‘You are about to permanently delete your account. This action cannot be undone. Do you want to continue?’
Post-Action Redirection: After the account is deleted, you can redirect the user to the login screen or an information page using the Navigate action.
Closing Data Links: It is recommended to perform data cleanup in the background after the action to ensure that no data linked to other users is left behind.

Technical Risks and Precautions

Irreversible Deletion: The user's account and all associated data are permanently deleted. The user must be asked for confirmation before the deletion process (Confirm Dialog).
Unauthorised User Deletion:Security vulnerabilities may arise, such as the deletion of another user account. The action should be configured to only work on the logged-in user (CurrentUser).
Missing Redirection: The user may be left on a blank screen after the deletion. The user should be redirected to the login screen with the Navigate action.
Data Inconsistency: Data related to the deleted user may remain in the system. Make sure that all related data is removed or anonymised after the action.

Delete My Account allows users to securely and permanently delete their accounts. The user experience should be made secure and controlled with complementary actions such as a confirmation mechanism and redirection afterwards.
