Deleting users
This topic explains how to delete users in HCL® Quality Server.
About this task
The following table shows how deletion of users in HCL® Quality Server is affected by the server security model option being used and by user privileges.
If this HCL® Quality Server security model option is being used... | And a HCL® Quality Server user is... | Then... |
---|---|---|
None | A "normal" user | There is no concept of an administrator user and all users have the same privileges, so there is no need to "delete" any users. |
Built-in | A "normal" user | The user cannot delete his or her user details from HCL® Quality Server. |
An administrator | The user can delete other users and administrators. However, an administrator cannot delete his or her user details from HCL® Quality Server. |
|
Active Directory/LDAP | A "normal" user | An Active Directory/LDAP administrator (whichever are applicable) can "delete" that HCL® Quality Server user by changing the users Active Directory/LDAP membership details. |
An administrator | An Active Directory/LDAP administrator (whichever are applicable) can "delete" that HCL® Quality Server administrator by changing the users Active Directory/LDAP membership details. |
