Preventing User Connection
When you no longer want a user to connect to HOPEX, but want to retain trace of his/her actions, you must render the user inactive but not delete it from your repository.
To make a user inactive:
1. In the login property pages of the user concerned, display Characteristics.
2. In the Status (Login) field, select "Inactive".
The user can no longer connect to HOPEX.
Deleting a User
*When you delete a user from the repository, the commands connected to this user become orphans and you lose part of the history saved in logs. To remove a user but keep its history of commands, see Preventing User Connection.
To delete a user:
1. Access the user management page.
2. In Persons, select the person to be deleted and click Delete .
*You can select more than one.
The Deleting objects window opens: the person and corresponding login and assignments are selected.
3. Click Delete to confirm deletion.
The person and corresponding login and assignments are deleted from the repository.
*All traces of user actions are lost.
