Deleting Users

When an account is deleted from the system, the administrator and Security Administrator must take the following actions:

• The account's home directory must be deleted.

• Any processes or jobs belonging to the deleted account must be removed:

  • Any objects owned by the account must be deleted or the ownership must be assigned to another user.

  • Any at or batch jobs scheduled on behalf of the user must be deleted. See the at(1) and crontab(1) man pages, if needed.

• The user (account) name and UID must be retired and not reused.
