CA Strong Authentication Administration Guide › Managing Administrators › Deleting Administrators

Deleting Administrators

Administrator information in CA AuthMinder includes personal information, credentials, and accounts. After you delete an administrator, their credentials and account information is still maintained in the database. You use the AuthMinder Software Development Kit to delete this information from the database.

If you create an administrator with the same name as a previously deleted administrator, then the new administrator does not automatically assume the permissions of the previously deleted administrator. If you want to duplicate a deleted administrator, then you manually re-create all permissions.

Required Permissions

Verify that you have the appropriate permissions. The MA can delete any administrators, while GAs can delete all administrators (including other GAs), except MA, in their scope. The OAs can delete all other OAs and UAs in their purview. However, UAs cannot delete other UAs.

Delete Administrators

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Users and Administrators tab.
2. Under the Manage Users and Administrators section, click the Search Users and Administrators link to display the Search Users and Administrators page.
3. Enter the partial or complete information of the administrator who you want to delete and click Search.

   You can also click the Advanced Search link to search for users based on their status (active or inactive) or their roles (GA, OA, or UA).

   The Search Results page appears, with all the matches for the specified criteria.

4. Select one or more administrators who you want to delete.
5. Click Delete.

   Note: Even though you have deleted the administrator, their information is still maintained in the database.
