# Orphan an Assistant

# How to Orphan an Assistant

An assistant is classed as being orphaned when it has no parent user. This can occur as a result of the parent user either being deleted or the parent user explicitly orphaning them. An orphaned assistant continues to function as before – they retain their assignments and enrolments.

An assistant is orphaned by deleting the parent user though the SOAP Portal Interface "delete peer" method. Alternatively there is a SOAP Portal Interface method that directly orphans an assistant.
