Understanding the Person document

The Person document describes a Notes® or non-Notes user in the Domino® Directory.

This document is created when you register a user via the user registration interface in the Domino® Administrator or when you use the Add Person action on the People & Groups tab in the Domino® Administrator. Person documents are stored in the Domino® Directory and can be modified as necessary. Changes that you make for a user often impact the Person document. For example, when you change a user's name, modify a user's roaming status, or delete a person, the change impacts the Person document. When a user name is deleted, the corresponding Person document is also deleted.
