Deleting and restoring Active Directory contacts
One Identity Manager uses various methods to delete contacts. For more information, see Procedure for deleting Active Directory user account in One Identity Manager.
NOTE:
-
Contacts with the Protected from accidental deletion option set, cannot be deleted.
-
As long as an account definition for an identity is valid, the identity retains the contact that was created by it. If the account definition assignment is removed, the contact created through this account definition, is deleted.
In the Manager, delete contacts that were not created using an account definition, via the result list or the menu bar. After you have confirmed the security prompt the contact is marked for deletion in One Identity Manager.
To delete a contact
-
In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Contacts category.
-
Select the contact in the result list.
-
Click in the result list.
- Confirm the security prompt with Yes.
Deferred deletion is taken into account if a contact is being deleted. You can use deferred deletion to specify how long the contacts remain in the database after deletion is triggered before they are finally removed. You can reenable the contacts up until deferred deletion runs.
If the QER | Person | User | DeleteOptions | ReapplyTemplatesOnRestore is set, the template is applied again when reenabling a contact marked for deletion that is managed through an account definition. This means that properties dependent on the IT operating data are automatically recreated according to the current configuration.
To restore a contact
-
In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Contacts category.
-
Select the contact in the result list.
-
Click in the result list.
Moving Active Directory contacts
NOTE:
-
Contacts can only be moved within a domain.
