Deleting Users

Administrators and team leaders with necessary permissions can delete users using the web interface.

However, if users are imported from another application, they must be removed from the source application, otherwise they are repopulated in AlertFind when data is next imported.

NOTE

  • To delete imported users, remove them from the next roster import.

    Imported users can be deleted using the AlertFind Administration web interface, but the users will be re-imported if they are not also removed from the import source data.

    Imported users cannot be deleted through Web Services / API.

  • When a user is deleted, the related configuration information is lost, and you must recreate the user completely if required.

    To preserve the user information, but restrict the use, see Enabling or Disabling Users for instructions on disabling a user.

To delete a user, perform one of the following options:

Option 1

  1. From any list of users, double-click a user name to bring up the User Overview page. See Viewing User Lists" for instructions on viewing user lists.
  2. At the top of the User Overview page, click Delete.

Option 2

  1. Verify the team context is set for the desired team. For more information, see Team Security Context.
  2. From the left navigation menu, Administration section, click Users.
  3. Click the name of the user to be deleted to select it. Use shift-click to select a range of users, and control-click to select multiple users.
  4. Click Delete at the top of the Users page.

Click OK to confirm the deletion.

Be aware that OK is the default option for the confirmation dialogue box, so be careful when choosing users and using this feature, as deleted users cannot be recovered.
