Disabling LDAP user accounts
The way you disable user accounts depends on how they are managed.
Scenario: User accounts are linked to employees and are managed through account definitions.
User accounts managed through account definitions are disabled when the employee is temporarily or permanently disabled. The behavior depends on the user account manage level. Accounts with the Full managed manage level are disabled depending on the account definition settings. For user accounts with a manage level, configure the required behavior using the template in the LDAPAccount.AccountDisabled column.
Scenario: The user accounts are linked to employees. No account definition is applied.
User accounts managed through user account definitions are disabled when the employee is temporarily or permanently disabled. The behavior depends on the QER | Person | TemporaryDeactivation configuration parameter
-
If the configuration parameter is set, the employee’s user accounts are disabled when the employee is permanently or temporarily disabled.
-
If the configuration parameter is not set, the employee’s properties do not have any effect on the associated user accounts.

-
In the Manager, select the LDAP > User accounts category.
-
Select the user account in the result list.
-
Select the Change main data task.

Deleting and restoring LDAP user accounts
NOTE: As long as an account definition for an employee is valid, the employee retains the user account that was created by it. If the account definition assignment is removed, the user account that was created from this account definition, is deleted.
You can delete a user account that was not created using an account definition through the result list or from the menu bar. After you have confirmed the security alert the user account is marked for deletion in the One Identity Manager. The user account is locked in One Identity Manager and permanently deleted from the One Identity Manager database and the target system depending on the deferred deletion setting.
For more information about deactivating and deleting employees and user accounts, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.

LDAP groups
LDAP user accounts, computers, and groups can be grouped into groups that can be used to regulate access to resources. In One Identity Manager, you can set up new groups or to edit already existing groups.
To add users to groups, you assign the groups directly to users. You can assign groups to departments, cost centers, locations, business roles, system roles, or the IT Shop.
