DQ Internal Security › Accessing User Information › Deleting a User

Deleting a User

If you need to delete a user who has left the company or has been transferred, review the queries of the user, terms, dialogs, personal database, and so on, to see if they need to be removed, or assigned to another user.

Important Reassign the JCL members and authorizations that you want to keep before deleting a user because CA Dataquery deletes the user, the JCL member of the user and their authorizations. The CA Datacom Datadictionary PERSON entity-occurrence of the user is not deleted.

An example of a Directory of CA Dataquery Users Panel follows:

Directory of CA Dataquery Users (DQK90)

Action

The START WITH field, located in the upper-right corner of this panel is where you enter the full or partial name of the user where you want the listing to start. When you press Enter, CA Dataquery refreshes the Directory of CA Dataquery USERS panel with the user that you specified on the first line of the listing. You can also page forward using <PF8> FORWARD or backward using <PF7> BACKWARD until you reach the member that you want to view and/or edit.

Choose one of the following to delete the user:

• Choose the USERS option from the Administrative Menu.
• Type USERS on the command line and press Enter.

When CA Dataquery displays the Directory of CA Dataquery Users panel, place the cursor on the user name that you want to delete. (You cannot delete yourself.) Press <PF6> DELETE to delete that user. CA Dataquery then redisplays the Directory of CA Dataquery Users panel.
