Delete a user in webconsole

Post by prasad111 »

How can we delete a user using webconsole?

Our server is configured with LDAP.
I explored the DirectoryAdmin.sh, it allows to delete all the users or all the groups not by individual id.

Code: Select all

DirectoryAdmin.sh -delete_users
Parameters
The following options are available for the DirectoryAdmin command.
-delete_users 
Deletes all the users in the IBM Information Server user registry. 
Your input is highly appreciated
Thanks
Prasad

Using Web Console for Information Server log in with suite administrator rights, choose the Administration tab, Users and Groups, Users. From the list of users select the user to be deleted (check the check box) and choose Delete from the tasks menu on the right hand side. Answer "Yes" to the "are you sure?" question.

Thanks for the reply

When I logged as dsadm/was-admin user into the http://<server_name>:9080 --> Administration --> Users and Groups --> Users --> searched for the user

When I selected the user I can see the following option

Code: Select all

CheckBox |Last Name|FirstName|UserName|Title|BusinesPhone|Location

On the right side I can see
Open User
Add Roles to Multiple Users
I don't see the option User to be deleted. Am I looking at the wrong place?

Is was-admin a Suite Administrator? To add/delete users you have to have the Suite Administrator role. Try logging in as isadmin (or whatever you have called your Suite Administrator).

Yes the was-admin and iisadmin are both Suite Administrator, still with both the id's not able to see the option User to be deleted.

Time to talk with your official support provider. I can not reproduce what you're claiming.
