Disable an Alias

You can prevent a user from logging in to BusinessObjects Enterprise using a particular authentication method by disabling the user's alias associated with that method. To prevent a user from accessing BusinessObjects Enterprise altogether, disable all aliases for that user.

Note: Deleting a user from BusinessObjects Enterprise 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. To ensure a user can no longer use one of his or her aliases to log in to BusinessObjects Enterprise, it is best to disable the alias.

To disable an alias

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

   The Properties dialog displays.

4. Clear the Enabled check box for the alias you want disable.

   Repeat this step for each alias you want to disable.

5. Click Save & Close.

The user can no longer log in using the type of authentication that you just disabled.
