Deleting user accounts

You can use the Delete function in Portal Management to permanently delete a selected user's profile from the system.

About this task

Use the steps that follow to delete a user's profile from the system.

The Delete function includes an option to save the dashboards and reports by assigning them to another user.
Note: If you do not assign the dashboards and reports to another user, they are removed from the system permanently when you delete the user's profile.

When you delete a user account, Discover provides the option to either permanently delete any dashboards and reports that are owned by the user account, or assign any dashboards and reports to some other user.

Note: The Admin user cannot be deleted.

Procedure

  2. Select User Administration > Users from the navigation pane on the left.
  3. Select the user name that you want to delete.
  4. Click Delete.

    A dialog box is displayed.

  5. To save the reports or dashboards that are currently assigned to the user you are deleting, select the Assign objects to user check box and pick the user to whom you want to assign the dashboards and reports.
    Note: If you want to permanently delete the reports and dashboards that are assigned to the user's profile you are deleting, clear the Assign objects to user check box.
  6. Click Delete.

Results

The user's profile is deleted from the system.
