CA RiskMinder Administration Guide › Managing Administrators › Deleting Administrators

Deleting Administrators

Administrator information in RiskMinder includes personal information (first name, middle name, last name, email address, and telephone number), credentials, and accounts. When you delete an administrator from Administration Console, the credential and account information must also be deleted along with the personal information. RiskMinder supports the cascaded user deletion feature by which all credential, account, and risk-related information for an administrator is also deleted when the administrator is deleted.

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.

Note: To delete an administrator, you must ensure that you have the appropriate privileges and scope. The MA can delete any administrator, while the GAs can delete all administrators (including other GAs) in their scope, except the MA account. The OAs can delete all other OAs and UAs in their purview.

However, the UAs cannot delete their peers within their scope.

To delete an administrator:

1. Ensure that you are logged in with the required privileges to delete the administrator.
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 you want to delete and click Search.

   You can also click the Advanced Search link to search for Current Users based on their status (active, inactive, or initial) 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 you want to delete.
6. Click Delete.

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