BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

Disabling an aliases

You can prevent a user from logging on to BusinessObjects Enterprise using a particular authentication method by disabling the user's alias associated with that method. To prevent a user from accessing BusinessObjects Enterprise altogether, disable all aliases for that user.

Note:    Deleting a user from BusinessObjects Enterprise 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. To ensure a user can no longer use one of his or her aliases to log on to BusinessObjects Enterprise, it is best to disable the alias. See also Deleting an alias.

To disable an alias

1. Go to the Users management area of the CMC.
2. Click the name of the user whose alias you want to disable.
3. In the Alias area on the Properties page, clear the Enabled check box for the alias you want disable.

Repeat this step for each alias you want to disable.

4. Click Update.

The user can no longer log on using the type of authentication that you just disabled.
