Chapter 8 Managing system users and groups 369

Deleting a user

To delete a user from the system, you must be a member of the admin group. By default, only the admin user is a member of the admin group.

Note: Remember that when a user is deleted, that user’s group assignment is also deleted. If you are deleting a user who is the sole member of a group, none of the remaining users on the system can then be added to that group. Existing users can only be added to a group by a user who is already a member of that group. Before deleting a user, you may therefore want to verify that the user is not the sole member of a group.

1Log on to the Nortel SNAS 4050 cluster as the admin user.

Password: (admin user password)
