Deactivating or Deleting Repository Users

The repository administrator or a user with the Manage Users right can deactivate or delete users.

Warning!  

A user cannot delete or deactivate himself, even if he has the Manage Users right. Deleting a user cannot be undone.

  1. Select Repository > Administration > Users to display the List of Users dialog box.
  2. [to deactivate the user] Select the user in the list and then select the [D]eactivate check box.

    The user remains in the list and can be reactivated at any time. While he is inactive, the user may not connect to the repository.

  3. [to delete the user] Select the user in the list and click the Delete tool.

    If the user has created or modified documents, he is deactivated. Otherwise he is removed from the List of Users and completely removed from the repository.
