Deleting Users: Delete from Windchill and Windchill Directory Server Action
The Delete from Windchill and Windchill Directory Server action is useful when you have write permission on your directory server and you are not expecting the user to return to the company. If you are not able to modify user entries in your directory server, PTC recommends using the Delete from Windchill action instead. For more information, see Deleting Users: Delete from Windchill Action. If the user will return to the company after a short absence, you can deactivate the user account rather than removing the user entirely. For more information, see Temporarily Deactivating a User.
To delete one or more Windchill users from Windchill and delete the user entry from your directory service, use the following procedure:
1. Add the participants you want to delete to the Participant Administration table. For more information, see Finding Participants.
2. Select the checkbox in front of each user that you want to delete, or select All to select all users in the table.
3. Delete users by selecting the Delete from Windchill and Windchill Directory Server action from either the Actions menu or the right-click actions menu.
* 
This action is not available for users that are owned by a read-only directory server.
4. From the confirmation window, click OK.
The users are deleted and removed from the table.
5. Perform clean-up activities for each participant deleted.
After a user entry has been removed from both Windchill and the directory service, the user will no longer be able to logon to Windchill. Details about the deleted user, such as the user’s name, are retained in Windchill to allow searches for objects created by the user and to maintain auditing logs. The deleted user will be removed from all user-defined groups and context teams. Any access control rules defined for the user are also removed.
