Deleting a Local User

You can delete an Organization Administrator or Organization User user from a Tenant Org that you have created in VMware Data Services Manager. The user that you want to delete must not own any active VMware Data Services Manager objects (databases, backups, and log bundles).

You cannot delete a Local user if you want to keep the user's databases running. Instead, you must reset the Local user's VMware Data Services Manager password to prohibit access by the user, and then delegate management of these databases to an Organization Administrator.

Note: You cannot delete a Provider user.

Prerequisites

Before you delete a user, ensure that you have saved a copy of the backups, databases, and log bundles owned or generated by the user, and then delete these entities.

Procedure

Perform the following procedure to delete a user:

1. Select Users from the left navigation pane.

   This actions displays the Users view, a table that lists the configured users.

2. Examine the users listed in the table, identify the user that you wish to delete, and navigate to that table row.

3. Click on the Action column value, and select Delete User from the pop-up menu.

   The Confirmation dialog displays.

4. If you are certain that you want to delete the user, click CONFIRM.

   The specified user is deleted from VMware Data Services Manager.
