BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

Deleting an alias

When you delete an alias, the alias is removed from the system. If a user has only one alias and you delete that alias, the system automatically deletes the user account and the Favorites folder, personal categories, and inbox for that account.

To delete an alias

1. Go to the Users management area of the CMC.
2. Click the link for the user whose alias you want to delete.
3. Click the Delete Alias button for the alias.

The alias is deleted from the system.

Note:    Deleting a user's alias does not necessarily prevent the user from being able to log on to BusinessObjects Enterprise again. If the user account still exists in the third-party system, and if the account belongs to a group that is mapped to BusinessObjects Enterprise, then BusinessObjects Enterprise will still allow the user to log on. Whether the system creates a new user or assigns the alias to an existing user, depends on which Update Options you have selected for the authentication tool in the Authentication management area of CMC.
