Deleting users

This topic explains how to delete users in IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel.

About this task

The following table shows how deletion of users in Rational Test Control Panel is affected by the Rational Test Control Panel security model option being used and by user privileges.

If this Rational Test Control Panel security model option is being used...	And a Rational Test Control Panel user is...	Then...
None	A "normal" user	There is no concept of a Rational Test Control Panel administrator user and all Rational Test Control Panel users have the same privileges, so there is no need to "delete" any Rational Test Control Panel users.
Built-in	A "normal" user	The user cannot delete his or her user details from Rational Test Control Panel.
Built-in	An administrator	The user can delete other Rational Test Control Panel users and administrators. However, a Rational Test Control Panel administrator cannot delete his or her user details from Rational Test Control Panel.
Active Directory/LDAP	A "normal" user	An Active Directory/LDAP administrator (whichever are applicable) can "delete" that Rational Test Control Panel user by changing the user’s Active Directory/LDAP membership details.
Active Directory/LDAP	An administrator	An Active Directory/LDAP administrator (whichever are applicable) can "delete" that Rational Test Control Panel administrator by changing the user’s Active Directory/LDAP membership details.

Therefore, if you want to use Rational Test Control Panel to delete the details of a Rational Test Control Panel user (other than yourself), Rational Test Control Panel’s built-in security functionality must be used and you must be a Rational Test Control Panel administrator.
