Deleting a User

You can delete users from FlexNet Operations if users have no dependencies (such as, for example, line items, entitlements, or alert subscriptions). Deleted users are removed permanently from the database. If you want to keep the user in the database but restrict access, consider deactivating the user instead.

You cannot permanently delete a user who has dependencies. However, you can perform a force delete by confirming that you want to remove a user, when prompted by a dialog. The force delete ensures that the user record and its dependencies are retained but placed in an inactive state. In this state, all fields on the user record are rendered obsolete, login-credential resets for the user are prohibited, and no further access to the user record is allowed.

Note that his option applies only to the forced deletion of non-producer users with dependencies.

To delete a user

1. Click Accounts & Users > All Users. The Manage Users page opens.
2. On the Manage Users page, select the user you want to delete.
3. Click Delete.
4. Click OK to confirm deletion.
5. If the user has dependencies, click Delete to confirm the force delete.
