Customer Service to delete a user. Users may be deactivated or deleted by Satellite Administrators, or
users may deactivate their own accounts.
Deactivated users cannot log in to the RHN web interface, nor may they schedule any actions.
Satellite Administrators may not be deactivated until that role is removed from their account. Actions
scheduled by a user prior to their deactivation remain in the action queue. For added flexibility,
deactivated users may be reactivated by Satellite Administrators.
User deletion from the web interface is available exclusively to RHN Satellite Server customers. The
Satellite Administrator role must be removed from a user before that individual may be deleted.
Warning
User deletion is irreversible; exercise it with caution. Consider disabling the user first in
order to assess the effect deletion will have on your infrastructure.
To deactivate a user:
1. Navigate to the user's

2. Verify that the user is not an Satellite Administrator. If they are, uncheck the box to the left of that
role and click the

button in the lower right of the screen.
3. Click the

link in the upper right of the screen.
