Deleting a User

This procedure describes how to remove a user from the Lawson repository of your LDAP directory. This procedure removes the user entry in the Lawson repository and all identities for the user.

To delete a Lawson user

From the Lawson Security Administrator User Management menu, select User Maintenance.
Perform a search to locate the user you want to remove. (For example, LastName=Johnson.)
Right-click the user entry and then select Delete.

A second-chance message appears.
Press OK to complete the delete.
If the user had jobs or print files in the system, you will be prompted to either delete the files or distribute them (assign them to another user).

If you choose delete, the files will be removed.

If you choose distribute, you will be prompted to type the operating system ID of the user who should now own the files.

If you use Windows, be sure to type the operating system ID in the format DOMAIN_NAME\OS_ID.
Under normal circumstances, it takes approximately five minutes for the system cache to reflect the delete. If you need to ensure that the cache is updated immediately, manually clear it.

Manually clearing the cache that updates user entries (RM Cache) is an Lawson Portal administrator function.

See Lawson Administration: Lawson Portal .
If the user had an ID on the operating system, you might also need to remove the user from the OS system, following instructions from your operating system vendor.
