Defining Administrators › Delete an Administrator ID

Delete an Administrator ID

Important! The TPXADMIN user ID supplied with CA TPX is unsecured. Therefore, you will want to delete the ID after you have established yourself or other users as master, system, operator, and user administrators. Do not delete this pre-existing user ID until you have assigned all administrator capabilities to at least one other user.

To delete an administrator ID

1. Select option 1, User/Group Maintenance, from the Administration Menu. The User/Group Administration Menu is displayed.
2. Select option 3, User Maintenance.

   A panel appears that asks you to select the user ID that you want to administer.
