by initiating a delete person command from the Domino® Administrator, by using the Web Administrator,
or by using the Microsoft Windows Active Directory. When
you delete a user name, you might want to add that user to a "termination"
group to prevent the user from accessing servers. When you create
a termination group, assign the group type Deny Access to
the group.
