16.4 Deleting a Vibe User

When users no longer need access to your Novell Vibe site, you should delete their Vibe user accounts. How you delete the user depends on how you originally created the user.

When you delete a user, the entries and information that the deleted user contributed are preserved.

16.4.1 Manually Deleting a User

When a user logs in to the Vibe site for the first time, the user’s personal workspace is created. Before a user logs in, the user does not have a personal workspace. Vibe enables site administrators to manually delete both types of users.

Deleting Users Who Have Logged In to Vibe

To delete a user who has previously logged in to the Vibe site and therefore has a personal workspace:

  1. Navigate to the user’s personal workspace.

  2. Click Profile, then click Delete on the Profile page.

  3. (Optional) You can select to also delete the user workspace, and all of its folders, sub-folders, and entries, including the source content of any mirrored folders.

  4. Click OK.

Deleting Users Who Have Not Logged In to Vibe

To delete a user who has not previously logged in to the Vibe site and therefore does not have a personal workspace:

  1. Search for a user who you want to delete, as described in Searching for Specific People, Places, or Tagged Items in the Novell Vibe OnPrem 3 User Guide.

    The user’s pre-login workspace is displayed.

  2. Click Delete > OK.

16.4.2 Deleting a User through LDAP

If you add Vibe users by synchronizing with an LDAP directory, as described in Adding Vibe Users from Your LDAP Directory in Basic Installation in the Kablink Vibe OnPrem 3 Installation Guide, Vibe users are automatically deleted when you delete the corresponding User object in the LDAP directory. You can configure LDAP synchronization to automatically delete Vibe users’ workspaces and content as well. For more information, see LDAP Synchronization Options in Basic Installation in the Kablink Vibe OnPrem 3 Installation Guide.
