18.5 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 a 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.

18.5.1 Deleting a Local User

If you manually create Vibe users on the Vibe site, rather than synchronizing user information from an LDAP directory, you can delete users as described in this section.

IMPORTANT:You should not delete users that are being synchronized with an LDAP directory by following the steps in this section. If you do, the user accounts are deleted along with all the data within the personal workspace, but the user accounts are re-created the next time users log in or the next time the LDAP sync occurrs. For information on how to properly delete users who are being synchronized with an LDAP directory, see Section 18.5.2, Deleting a User through LDAP.

18.5.2 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 Novell Vibe OnPrem 3.1 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 Novell Vibe OnPrem 3.1 Installation Guide.
