Deleting users accounts

Greetings, I am new to Solaris and currently using Solaris 8. How do I delete a group of users account who are no longer with the group and, assign those accounts to root or, give root access to those account.
Is there a single comand I can use to do this?
Thanks for your assistance

I'm not sure what you're really after. By default root should be able to access any account and theoretically any directory or file. NFS and the automounter tend to cause confusion on that point but other than that root shouldn't have an issue accessing the files. Take a look at the su man page and consider locking the accounts that are no longer necessary. man passwd for that.

  • How to permanently/manually delete User Account on MAC OS X 10.6.8

    Hi There,
    Can you please assist with providing instructions on how to manually delete USER accounts on MAC OS X 10.6.8.  Everyone but one user (who's account was deleted) can not log into the damain device.  As a test I tried to add a new user accout with the same name as before and even though nothing existing in the USERS folder; it states that a duplicate name exists.
    How do I delete that duplicate?  Where could that be located?
    Please let me know,
    Sonia

    Solution!
    Command to locate the hidden User Profile:
    dscl . list /users
    Command to delete the now found hidden User Profile:
    sudo dscl . delete /users/<userID>
    Thanks,

  • New Macbook Air setup problem with deleting user account

    I recently changed from a MBP to a MBA and upon completing my migration data from old mac to new one I had an extra user account. So I have my admin account and a guest account and a third account that I don't want. Upon trying to delete this account it show "deleting user account and home folder" but it has been doing this for more than an hour therefore it will not let me exit system preferences. Any help on this?

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "need configuration data ... " However, if both computers are on your network then you should be able to synchronize various files or folders using backup software. However, to start you will need to enable File Sharing on one of the computers.
    For help with this select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu. Search for "file sharing." You should find several links on how to configure it on your computer. Also see Mac 101- File sharing and Tutorial- File sharing in OS X - MacFixIt.
    Once file sharing is set up you can then try a backup utility to do the synching. Most backup utilities not only do backups but can also be configured to synchronize files and/or folders. Here are some possibilities:
    Backup Software Recommendations
    1. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    2. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    3. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    4. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
    5. Data Backup (Commercial)
    6. SilverKeeper 2.0 (Freeware)
    7. Tri-Backup (Commercial)
    8. SyncTwoFolders (Freeware)

  • Can't delete user account with open shopping cart

    Hi all,
    Is it okay to delete user account with open shopping cart? I can't delete user by users_gen, it says existing partner document. I then applied notes 1148837,report PARTNER_SET_DELETE. And this report doesn't really work. I ran it and it found zero occurrnences. Is anybody using this report?
    So is it the only way to delete user from SRM is by su01 and leave some informations on Busines partner (bp)
    Thanks,
    Kev

    Hi. You can easily lock the user and change the validity dates using SU01.
    Then, I would write a program that looks through all locked users and checks their valdity dates. Table USR02 holds all this data.
    Then, if the user is locked and the validity end date was 3 or 6 or whatever months ago (make this a selection parameter probably), then you know you want to delete this user.
    So, go into table HRP1001 where SCLAS = US and SOBID = user name and OTYPE = CP and get field OBJID. This is the central person (CP) number.
    Then, go into table HRP1001 again, this time where SCLAS = BP  and OTYPE = CP and OBJID = the CP number and get field SOBID. This is the business partner (BP) number.
    Now, run function BAPI_USER_DELETE to delete the SU01 user fully, then function HR_CENTRALPERSON_DELETE to delete the central person, then function BUP_BUPA_DELETE to delete the business partner.
    And that should delete everything.
    Regards,
    Dave.

  • Deleting user accounts

    Is there an automated way to delete user accounts on a regular basis through Apple Remote Desktop

    Well you can issue a send unix command or set ARD to regulary send a unix command. The complecity of that unix command is really up to what you can find, hire, or can write yourself.
    If your accounts are coming from an Open Directory or Active Directory, you can configure the account to be 'mobile accounts.' At witch point you can set mobile accounts to expire after x time of inactivty.
    But why do you want to delete accounts? what about the risk of deleting files a user wants / needs.

  • How to find who deleted user account

    I need help from Security Specialists to find out who deleted user account in past in a R/3 46C system.
    I have already tried below methods and checked previous posts in this forum but no use -
    1. SUIM
    2. SM20
    3. SM21
    4. Report RSTBHIST
    5. ST03
    6. STAT
    7. SECR
    8. SM19
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Ben,
    I tried and got output as below -

    Which means user was last deleted on 03/02 by 107901 and then I recreated it on 15/05 and maintained on 08/06.
    But again today I found this user missing and thats the reason I 'm desparately looking for delete log.
    I didnt find latest deletion log anywhere.

  • Apple Configurator - 1.2 (Delete User Account while Checked Out)

    Hi Community,
    I have a supervised iPad that was checked out to a particular user. The user account in apple configurator was deleted while checked out. The iPad is now unavailable to check out because it is permanently checked out to the deleted user account.
    I reset and deleted all information on the iPad but since it is supervised it comes right back to the point I checked it out (which I really like). But in this situation how to I get that user off...because I can't check it back in and currently can't use it for anyone else. 
    Thanks!

    I attempted to, but if a device is checked out to a user the unsupervise option isn't available. This is only because I believe the device was checked out and the user it was checked out to was deleted. Normally if there wasn't a user checked out to the device unsupervise would be available. 

  • Not Enough Hard Drive Space on my Mac Mini to Save Deleted User Account Folder: What to do?

    I am no longer able to access my original user account on my mac mini because the account is corrupted and won't load. Thanks to the helpful advice I found on the internet, I was able to create a new user account and resume using my mac, but all of my old files are trapped in the old user account.
    The plan was to delete the old user account, create a disk image of the old account folders, and then migrate those folders to the new user account. Unfortunately, I don't have enough disc space left on my Mac to do that. I have just under 11gb left after deleting absolutely everything I could, and I need 81gb for the old user files. The back up plan was to select the "don't change the home folder" option, but when I went to delete the account, there was no such option. The message simply read:
    "The user's home folder will not be saved. To do so, you need 81.1gb of free disk space. Try emptying the trash or deleting other files on your disk, then deleting the user account. If you do not want to save the user's home folder, click delete immediately."
    My only two choices were CANCEL or DELETE IMMEDIATELY. There was no "don't change the home folder" option.
    So I am not sure how to proceed. Here are some questions:
    1) is there a way to save the disk image directly to an external drive instead of the user's folder on the mac hard drive?
    2) If I use the "delete immediately" option, will the files go into a "deleted users" folder where they can be recovered or will they just be erased from the computer and unretrievable?
    3) Is there a way to use terminal to change access permission on the original user account files so that I can copy them onto an external drive or integrate them with the new user account without having to first delete the original user account?
    4) In the absence of deleting the user account, will using either:
    sudo chown -R `id -un` /Users/oldusername
    and/or
    sudo chmod -R u+rw /Users/oldusername
    in Terminal allow the new user account permission to access the original user files and merge them seamlessly into my new user account? Or must I delete the original account first?
    5) Is there something else I haven't thought of that would work, would be more efficient, or more effective? This wouldn't be the first time I have overthought a solution...
    When considering any solutions, please keep in mind that I cannot launch the original user account as that starts the whole endless loading loop. So, while I have the password for the original user account, any solution would appear to require that I work from the new user account only, without launching the old account.  Also I am a complete newbie at this. I've used Macs exclusively for 17 years but this is the first time I've had to do anything like this. Up to now, everything has always "just worked".  So please be as detailed with any instructions as possible!
    Any help greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
    Mac Mini 2ghz 1g ram running OS 10.4.11

    I think ComputerFixer is correct, you should be able to drag and drop it to another drive, no worries. However, if not, you could create an disk image of it using DiskUtility and create it on a new drive. But again, I don't think that is necessary. If you have administrator rights with your new account, can you simply go into the old user account folder and drag and drop the files you want to save? I have done that as well as copy the older user account to another drive (in my case, another computer on the network) and salgage my files from there. Is that an option for you?

  • How to recreate a deleted user account w/ same email address

    Hi,
    I have a MacMini running Maverics 10.9.1 and Server 3.0.1. In the server, I also have the Open Directory running, but there are no Local Network Users configured at the moment.
    I deleted one of my Local Users from the server and would now like to recreate the account with the same email address as the old one had.
    When I try to do this, I get an error message from the Server>Users>New User scree saying "The email address [email protected] is already in use".
    Apparently the user deletion from the Server>Users screen did not compeltely delete the Local User from the server. How can I get the user including the old mailbox completely deleted?
    wbr,
    tatu

    Just one more piece of detail: the reason why I deleted this account was because every time someone sent it an email to address [email protected] it got delivered to [email protected]
    After the Local User account deletion now, apparently the [email protected] still works but all mail is piped to [email protected]
    So, how do I disable/fix this [email protected]>[email protected] pipe and then how do I remove the old [email protected] mail box out of the server completely?
    wbr,
    tatu

  • Deleted user account saved file doesn't contain latest files

    Someone I know deleted one of the users accounts on their iMac. Not the admin account. When doing this there was an option to save the account files. That was done. After rebooting to the 1 account that was left, the admin account they opened the .dmg saved user file from the deleted account. But that file did not include any of the new files over the past few months like files on the desktop or iphoto stuff. The desktop files that were saved were from months ago and everything else was old.
    Any ideas what happened to all the current files from that account?
    thx

  • Can't Delete User Account - On Mac Os X Server

    Hi, I am running Server v 2.2.1 on Mountain Lion 10.8.3 (I don't see a community set up for this new server software so I'm asking here)
    I just created a user  account in the server but made a mistake and for some reason it won't let me delete the account.
    Clicking on the little minus box does nothing and when I go into the "edit user" everything is greyed out accept for the "Administer the server" checkbox.
    Other accounts I've created don't have this issue so I'm not sure what is going on.
    Is there a way to delete this account? Maybe from the Terminal?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I figured it out. For some reason there was no admin write access to the User folders.

  • Why are deleted user accounts showing up in login window and fast user switching menu?

    There are several old user accounts, just test accounts when I was studying for ACSA that I deleted, which continue to show up in the login window and the fast user switcher menu. I deleted them before upgrading to Lion (I think it was before). The accounts do not exsist in the /Users folder, nor even the /Users/Deleated Users folder. Additionally they do not show up in the list of users in System Preferences. Can anyone give some advice on how to remove these "ghost" accounts from the login window and drop down menu?
    Thanks

    Hi. Thanks for the link. Sorry it took me a while to get to this, the problem is not a show stopper, so to speak, so tried your advice when I had the time. Unfortunatly it did not work. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

  • How can I delete user account picture in Windows 8?

    I have set my account picture, but now want to delete the pic and back to the default.
    How can I do it?

    Hello,
    The userpic, the image tiles used for your account picture, is located, in different resolutions, in the following folder: C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\%UserAccountSecurityIdentifier%
    where %UserAccountSecurityIdentifier% is a placeholder for the Security IDentifier (SID) assigned by the operating system or domain controller to your user account.
    Here is how it looks like:
    NOTE: If your are using multiple account for login to your computer, like local Security Account Manager (SAM) account (standard account created and stored on your local PC in NTFS), your Microsoft Account (the one using internet account name provided
    by Microsoft such as [email protected],
    [email protected]), or an Active Directory account, please open root C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\ folder and browse to the folder with the name of the SID assigned to your user account for which you want to change the user picture.
    To find out what SID refers to what user account name used on your PC, proceed with the following:
    Start the elevated command prompt by pressing WindowsKey+Q and typing
    cmd, then hitting Enter.
    At the command prompt type: wmic useraccount get name,sid and press
    Enter.
    This will return a table with all user accounts registered on this computer (that is those who had once logged onto this PC) and their corresponding SIDs.
    Now lookup this registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users
    And locate the subkey (named correspondingly to the desired SID), then remove REG_SZ values that contain paths to the userpic images to remove traces of userpics.
    WARNING: Please create new system restore point before making this registry change!
    Hope this helps.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

  • Reconciliation for the deleted user accounts on Target Resource

    Hi,
    I am trying to run reconciliation on a DB Table as the target resource. It is linking the user accounts that are present in the target resource.
    But for the user accounts that are deleted on the target resource Reconciliation is not showing any action on the IdM user accounts under resource profile. The resource object link still shows the status "Provisioned".
    Ideally when the users are deleted on the target resource User's profile, Does it require any customizations to make the resource assignment status to "revoked" instead of "Provisioned".
    Any response would be of great help.
    Thanks in advance.

    See there could be two possibilities only:
    *1) User Status Recovery via trusted Reconciliation*
    Associated field in OIM responsible for it - Status field of OIM User Profile -> Check Process Definition for Xellerate User or any Trusted resource in "Reconciliation Field Mappings" section
    Valid values are : Active, Disabled and Deleted
    *2) Account Status Recovery via target Reconciliation*
    Associated field in OIM responsible for it - OIM_OBJECT_STATUS field from Process Data Field -> Check Process Definition for Your custom resource of DB App Table in "Reconciliation Field Mappings" section
    Valid values are : Enabled, Disabled and Revoked
    So you are trying to achieve the second part.
    Hope its clear.
    Thanks
