Unable to revoke access for users who cancel before first login

Hi Pickaxe team,

We’re running into an access control issue with Pickaxe that’s creating a risk for our membership setup.

Here’s the situation:

  • We run a paid membership on Skool.

  • When someone joins, we manually grant them access to Pickaxe.

  • However, Pickaxe only creates a user profile after their first login.

The problem is:
If a member cancels their Skool membership before ever logging into Pickaxe, they never appear in Pickaxe at all. That means:

  • We can’t see their name or email in Pickaxe,

  • We can’t remove or revoke their access, because there’s no user record yet.

So operationally, we’re forced to:

  • Track cancelled users outside of Pickaxe, and

  • Manually check daily in case they later log in, just so we can remove them.

This isn’t scalable and creates a security/IP risk, since a cancelled user could still activate their Pickaxe access later.

What we’d love to see is one of the following options:

  • Ability to see and manage invited/pending users before first login,

  • Ability to revoke access by email even if they haven’t logged in yet, or

  • User records being created at the time access is granted (not first login).

Is there currently a workaround for this, or is something like this on your roadmap?

Thanks so much — we love Pickaxe and just want to make sure access control stays tight as we scale.

Best,
Jessica

Hi @jessicaviera ,
Thank you for reaching out and for your patience.

We do offer a way to see and manage invited or pending users before they log in.

To do this, go to your Studio dashboard → Access tab, then scroll to Products & Paywalls. Click on the product you invited the user to, then open the Access section. There, you will see an Invitations list showing all users who have been invited but have not yet logged in/created an account. From that list, you can cancel or discard invites to revoke their access.

hey @suppsupp omg amazing. Would’ve had no idea to look there
