Deleting User Accounts

Before you delete a user account, you must revoke all privileges from the roles assigned to that account. This prevents orphaned privilege assignments that could affect other users who share those roles.

note

The built-in ocadm user account cannot be deleted. Any events owned by the deleted user are automatically reassigned to ocadm after deletion. Deletions are permanent and cannot be undone.

The full deletion workflow has four phases:

1. Disable inheritance and revoke access code privileges
2. Revoke schedule and function privileges
3. Revoke departmental and batch user privileges
4. Delete the user account
