Deleted User Clean-Up Activities

Basic Administration > Managing User Participation > Participant Administration > Working with Participants > Managing Users > Deleting a User Overview > Deleted User Clean-Up Activities

After deleting a user using either the Delete from Windchill or the Delete from Windchill and Windchill Directory Server action, perform the following clean-up steps:

• Remove the user's personal cabinet and any folders or objects within it. For information about personal cabinets, see Managing the Personal Cabinets of Deleted Users.

If it is possible that you will enable a deleted user, then you should not delete the user’s personal cabinet.

• Reassign or remove any tasks assigned to the user. For example, if the user is deleted after they have been assigned a task such as an approval task, their task must be manually removed.

For more information, see Reassigning a Task.

• Undo the checkout of any objects the user has checked out of the Windchill database.
