As DSM administrator, you can delete a DSM user. 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 DSM user if you want to keep the user's databases running. Instead, you must reset the user's VMware Data Services Manager password to prohibit access by the user, and then delegate management of these databases to a different 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:
Click Permissions in the left navigation pane.
This actions displays the Permissions view that you use to create and manage the users.
Click DSM USERS.
This action displays a table that lists the configured users.
Examine the users listed in the table, select the user to delete, and click DELETE.
If you are certain that you want to delete the user, confirm your action.
The specified user is deleted from VMware Data Services Manager. Deleting this user would revoke their access to DSM and you will have to create a new user later.
