Deleting a User or Administrator Account

To delete an account belonging to an enterprise user or an administrator, use the -authorize option (to provide your credentials that authorize you for the task) with the -users -delete options to delete the account.

To delete a user account

1.

Enter a command similar to this:

flexnetlsadmin -server licenseServer_baseURL -authorize yourAdminName {yourAdminPassword|
-passwordConsoleInput} -users -delete accountName 

2.

The command requires the following:

•

yourAdminName yourAdminPassword—Your administrator credentials.

Note that you can provide your administrator password directly in the command; or, to avoid exposing this password as a command-line argument, you can use the -passwordConsoleInput option, which then issues a prompt to enter the password as console input.

Note:(Linux only) If you supply a password directly on the command line you may need to escape some characters with a backslash in order to prevent the shell from interpreting them. The safest approach is to surround the whole password with single quotes, and backslash any single quote that is part of the password.

•

accountName—The case-sensitive user (or administrator) name for the account.

3.

View the currently available user accounts to verify that the account has been deleted. See Viewing All User Accounts.
