Manage Users and Groups › Manage Aliases › Delete an Alias

Delete an Alias

When you delete an alias, the alias is removed from the system. If a user has only one alias and you delete that alias, the system automatically deletes the user account and the Favorites folder, personal categories, and inbox for that account.

Note: Deleting a user's alias does not necessarily prevent the user from being able to log in to BusinessObjects Enterprise again. If the user account still exists in the third-party system, and if the account belongs to a group that is mapped to BusinessObjects Enterprise, then BusinessObjects Enterprise will still allow the user to log in. Whether the system creates a new user or assigns the alias to an existing user, depends on which update options you have selected for the authentication tool in the Authentication management area of CMC.

To delete an alias

1. Go to the Users and Groups management area of the CMC.
2. Select the user whose alias you want to delete.
3. Click Manage, Properties.

   The Properties dialog displays.

4. Click the Delete Alias button next to the alias that you want to delete.
5. If prompted for confirmation, click OK.

   The alias is deleted.

6. Click Save & Close to exit the Properties dialog.
