Deleting Large Numbers of Users, Roles or Groups through the loadusers Utility

You can use the loadusers utility to mass-delete users, roles, or groups. You might do this, for example, if you want to clean up your system to eliminate faulty or old data. Mass-deleting through this method is powerful and should only be done by a system administrator who is knowledgeable about the Lawson system and about XML.

The loadusers utility accepts input from an XML file that you create. You can populate any attributes that you want to delete.

Following is an example of an XML file that has been used to delete users, roles, and groups. The roles and groups in this file would only be deleted if they were not assigned to any other users than the ones being deleted.
