Archive user accounts

Archive user accounts

When users are removed from your system, you have an option to archive their accounts prior to deleting them.

In order to archive user accounts, user archival must be enabled on the General Settings page. For more information, see Configure Admin-level or organization-specific General Settings.

Archived user accounts are maintained on the appliance in read-only mode. You can delete them, as needed. If you archive a user account, and add it to appliance again, a new user account is created, while the archived account is maintained until being removed. For example, if an employee leaves the organization and its user account becomes archived, if they join the organization again, a new user account is created without any association with the archived account. Similarly, if you archive a user account on the appliance without updating your organization's Active Directory, an LDAP import results in a new user account, that is not associated with the previously archived user.

* 
NOTE: When user archival is enabled, user accounts can only be deleted only if they are marked as archived.
1.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
2.
On the left navigation bar, click Control Panel > Users.
3.
Complete one of the following steps:
◦
On the Users list, select one or more user accounts that you want to archive and select Choose Action > Archive.
◦
On the Users list, click the name of the user that you want to archive. On the User Detail page that appears, click Archive.
4.
In the dialog box that appears, click Confirm.
The dialog box closes, and the Users list refreshes, indicating that the user is in the Archived state ().
5.
If you want to review the details for an archived user, on the Users list, in the Name column, click the user name.
The User Details page appears, showing the user details in read-only mode.

Next, you can delete archived user accounts, if needed.
