Folks,
We have had a few TC sessions around active users in Windchill the past couple of years. In our case we do not want to delete the user, as it is not uncommon for someone to change roles temporarily beform coming back. So to mark a user account as Inactive we currently update the username in Windchill which disconnects the Windchill account from the AD and prevents them from authenticating.
Unless I imagined it I believe that here is actually a document/recommended practice for doing this. It goes something like:
1) Rename user to “xxxxusername”
2) Add user to group “yyyy”
I have been led to believe that if you use the correct group name then that prevents the users from showing up in some of the UI screens which is why I am researching this.
Assuming for the minute that I did not dream this, does anyone know where I can find that document? I have tried tech support on this, but so far I am drawing a blank.
Failing getting any documentation, can anyone tell me what should be used for xxxx and yyyy above?
Thanks in advance,
