Deleting Organizations
|
|
Do not delete an organization participant unless you understand how it affects the system, as described in this section.

|
You cannot delete an organization participant that is associated with an organization context.

There are two actions that result in deleting an organization participant. They are:
• Delete from
Windchill
• Delete from
Windchill and Directory Server
The first action has the effect of deleting the organization participant from the Windchill database. The second action deletes the organization participant from both the Windchill database and the directory service. To use the second action, you must have the required permissions to be able to delete organization participants from the directory service as well as the database.
The results of deleting an organization participant from the Windchill database are as follows:
• The organization is removed from all notification lists.
• All access control rules that identify this organization are removed from the access control policy for a domain. If any users had access permissions derived solely from membership in the deleted organization, it may be necessary to create new rules to restore the lost permissions.
• If the organization had been added to a local or shared team, the team membership shows the organization as deleted and, if a user was a member of the team only because he or she is a member of the deleted organization, then the user is no longer a member of the team. The deleted organization remains on the Members table so that anyone managing a team is aware of the deletion. The deleted organization row can then be removed from the Members table since the organization is no longer a member of the team.
When an organization participant is deleted from both the Windchill database and the directory service, it results in the above points in addition to the organization no longer being included in search results.
If an organization LDAP entry is not removed from the directory service, a new organization participant is created in Windchill database when the organization is selected from a search. This new organization object is not the same object that was deleted and all of the results of the earlier deletion still hold.
