Moving a user name in the name hierarchy
When you move a user to a different Organizational Unit, the certifier changes, thus the user's name hierarchy changes. Since the name hierarchy in Domino® and Notes® is part of the user's name, when you move a user to a different certifier you have essentially changed the user's name. You can use the Administration Process to move a user name to a different location (Organizational Unit) in the organization's hierarchical name scheme or to move a name to a different Organization altogether.
About this task
For example, if Alice Brown/Marketing/Renovations leaves a job in the Marketing department for a job in Sales, you can certify her user ID with the /Sales/Renovations certifier, which, in effect, moves her to that Organizational Unit. Her full hierarchical name then becomes Alice Brown/Sales/Renovations.
You can also move
a user to another Organization, however to do so, your Domino Directory must contain cross-certificates
between the Organizations involved. So, for example, if Alice
Brown/Marketing/Renovations
leaves a job at Renovations to
work for the Renovations subsidiary RenovationsSub that has its own
Organization Certifier, you can certify her ID with the /RenovationsSub
certifier
so that her name becomes Alice Brown/RenovationsSub
.
Using this example, the Domino Directory
must have cross-certificates between /Renovations
and /RenovationsSub
.
- Request the move using the originating certifier.
- Complete the move by using the target (new) certifier to approve the request and issue the new certificate.
You can use an agent to notify a user of changes to private design elements during a name change by using the Administration Process to perform the name change.
