Deleting an account

If you need to terminate a user’s access to the Admin console, you can delete the corresponding account. Deleting an administrative account removes the account information from the system, and prevents access to Admin console through that account.

You cannot delete your own account. For example, you will not be able to delete the “admin” account while you are logged in to that account.

If another system administrator deletes your account while you are logged in to the Admin console, the software displays an error message indicating that your account has been deleted by another administrator and requires you to log out of the current session. The software does not save any changes that you made while logged in for the current session. The software also closes any other active sessions to which you are already logged in.

You must have the PRIV_ADMIN privilege in your role in order to delete a user’s account.

To delete an administrative account

Choose Manage Security from the navigation pane.

Choose Manage Accounts from the Manage Security menu.

Choose the Delete option next to the administrative account that you want to delete.

When prompted, choose OK to delete the account. If you do not want to delete the user, choose Cancel.
