Delete an Individual User from the Encyclopedia

To remove the user's definition from the encyclopedia, delete an individual user. Deleting a user from an encyclopedia does not delete the user from the Coordination Server.

To delete an individual user:

• You must be an encyclopedia administrator or the person that created the user.
• The user cannot have any models or subsets checked out.
• The user cannot be an administrator or any models.

When the user you are deleting is the model or subset administrator, the user deleting the individual becomes the model or subset's administrator.

Follow these steps:

1. Log on to the encyclopedia through the Encyclopedia Client.
2. Open the individual user.
3. In the Individual Selection window, select Actions, Delete.

   The client confirms that you want to delete the user.

4. Press Yes to delete the user or press No to keep the user.

After deleting a user, the user's ID is no longer in the ID field.
