CA AuthMinder Administration Guide › Managing Users and Their Credentials › Deleting Users

Deleting Users

After a user is deleted, all privileges associated with the user are permanently deleted. As a result, the user can no longer log in to your application. Their information and credentials are also deleted from the system.

If you create a new user with the same name as a previously deleted user, then the new user does not automatically assume the privileges of the previously deleted user. If you need to duplicate a deleted user, then you must manually re-create all privileges.

Privileges Required

To be able to delete a user, you must ensure that you have the appropriate privileges and scope to do so. MA can delete any user, while GAs can delete all users (including other GAs), except MA, within their scope. The OAs and UAs can delete all users in their purview.
