BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

Reassigning an alias

When you reassign an alias, you move a third-party alias from the user that you are currently viewing to another user. You cannot assign or reassign Enterprise aliases.

Note:    If a user has only one alias and you reassign that alias to another user, the system will delete the user account, and the Favorites folder, personal categories, and inbox for that account.

To reassign an alias to another user

1. Go to the Users management area of the CMC.
2. Click the link for the user whose alias you want to reassign, for example, bsmith.
3. Click the Reassign Alias button for the alias.

The Reassign Alias page appears.

4. In the list, click the name of the user that you want to assign the alias to, for example, jbrown.
5. Click OK.

The alias for bsmith has now been assigned to the user jbrown, and the Properties page for user jbrown is displayed. The user jbrown can now log on using the third-party user account and authentication method. The user bsmith can no longer use this alias.
