Deleting Administrators

Administrator information in AuthMinder includes personal information (first name, middle name, last name, email address, and telephone number), credentials, and accounts. After you delete an administrator from the Administration Console, their credentials and account information is still maintained in the database. You must use the AuthMinder Software Development Kit to delete this information from the database.

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

Privileges Required

To be able to delete administrators, you must ensure that you have the appropriate privileges and scope to do so. 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.

Deleting Administrators

To delete an administrator:

  1. Ensure that you are logged in with the required privileges to delete administrators.
  2. Activate the Users and Administrators tab.
  3. Under the Manage Users and Administrators section, click the Search Users and Administrators link to display the Search Users and Administrators page.
  4. 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.

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

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