Deleting and restoring Unix 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.

To delete a user account that is not managed using an account definition

  1. In the Manager, select the Unix > User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Click in the result list.
  4. Confirm the security prompt with Yes.

To restore a user account

Unix groups

In the Unix host, user accounts can be gathered into groups that can be used to regulate access to resources. Local groups are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You can set up new groups or to edit already existing groups.

To add users to groups, you assign the groups directly to users. This can be assignments of groups to departments, cost centers, locations, business roles, or the IT Shop.
