Note: This procedure applies only to Oracle-hosted installations. For information about deleting users in a self-hosted environment, see Deleting a user.
For Oracle-hosted installations with single sign-on, you delete a user by removing the Signal role from the user in the Oracle Health Sciences Identity and Access Management Services console. If objects are assigned to the deleted user, you must also purge the user in Empirica Signal.
When you purge a user:
You become the owner of objects created by the user except topics or topic actions.
If the user is assigned to a drug or drug-event combination, Empirica Signal removes the assignments.
To purge users, you must have Administer Users or superuser permissions.
1. If the user is assigned to a topic or topic action, reassign the topic or topic action.
You must be on the user's work team and have the appropriate work team permissions.
You can reassign topics and topic actions in only one workflow configuration within a login session. For example, if you reassign a topic in a topic workflow configuration, you must log out and then log back in to reassign a topic in a different topic workflow configuration.
For more information, see Editing a topic.

An informational message appears.
9. Click Yes to confirm the purge.
The user is purged.
Note: If the user has one or more private topics, the Empirica Signal application prevents you from purging the user and displays the name or ID of the private topic. Contact a superuser to reassign or delete the private topic.
