How to Deactivate or Hide User Accounts

When you deactivate a user account, the user is no longer allowed to access the provisioning system. Since the provisioning system tracks system activity by user account, you are not able to remove user accounts from the provisioning system.

You can hide a user account as a way to manage the number of users that display in the Users page.

This procedure describes how to deactivate or hide user accounts by using the browser interface. You can also deactivate or hide user accounts by using the following command.

• udb.u.mod – Edits a user account.

For a detailed description of this command, see udb.g: Managing User Groups in N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 Command-Line Interface Reference Manual.

Before You Begin

To deactivate a user account, you must belong to a user group that has write permissions on users and groups.

Steps

1. Go to the Details page of the user account that you plan to edit.

   See How to View User Accounts.

2. In the table that lists users, find the row describing the user you plan to deactivate, and click Details.

   The user's Details page is displayed.

3. To hide or deactivate this user account, select Hidden or Deactivate.

   If you select Deactivate, the user account will automatically be hidden.

4. Click Save.
