User Deletion Practices

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

  • Delete the account's home directories in every zone.

  • Delete any processes or jobs that are owned by the deleted account:

    • Delete any objects that are owned by the account, or assign the ownership to another user.

    • Delete any at or batch jobs that are scheduled on behalf of the user. For details, see the at(1) and crontab(1) man pages.

  • Never reuse the user name or user ID.
