6.8.1.1. User List ⇒ Active ⇒ User Details —
The User Details page allows Organization Administrators to manage the permissions and activity of all users. Included in the User Details page is the ability to delete or deactivate users.
Users may now be deactivated directly from the RHN web interface. RHN Satellite Server customers may deactivate or delete users from their systems, although non-Satellite customers must contact Customer Service to delete a user. Users may be deactivated or deleted by Organization Administrators, or users may deactivate their own accounts.
Deactivated users cannot log in to the RHN web interface, nor may they schedule any actions. Organization Administrators may not be deactivated until that role is removed from their account. Actions scheduled by a user prior to their deactivation remain in the action queue. For added flexibility, deactivated users may be reactivated by Organization Administrators.
User deletion from the web interface is available exclusively to RHN Satellite Server customers. The Organization Administrator role must be removed from a user before that individual may be deleted.
User deletion is irreversible; exercise it with caution. Consider disabling the user first in order to assess the effect deletion will have on your infrastructure.
To deactivate a user:
Navigate to the user's User Details tab.
Verify that the user is not an Organization Administrator. If they are, uncheck the box to the left of that role and click the Submit button in the lower right of the screen.
Click the deactivate user link in the upper right of the screen.
Click the Deactivate User button in the lower right to confirm.
To delete a user:
Navigate to the user's User Details tab.
Verify that the user is not an Organization Administrator and remove that role if necessary.
Click the delete user link in the upper right.
Click the Delete User button to permanently delete the user.
For instructions regarding deactivating your own account, refer to Section 6.3.1.3, “Account Deactivation”.
