Deleting users or groups

    If you delete users or groups from a secondary server, the information will be copied from the primary server the next time a user logs on. To remove users and groups permanently, you must remove them from the primary server.

    To delete users or groups from the Users & Groups List:
    1 Open Mac OS Server Admin and log on to the server you want to configure.
    2 If you are using the mail server, make sure the mail server is running.
    The mail server updates mail settings after you delete a user.
    WARNING: When you delete a user, all of the user's mail is deleted from the mail database.
    3 Press the Users & Groups button and choose Show Users & Groups List.
    4 Select the users or groups you want to delete and click the Delete Users/Groups button.
    Deleting a group does not delete the users who are members of the group.
    5 If the Web or file server is running and you want to reassign the user's access privileges, in the window that appears select the user who will receive the privileges.
    If you don't select a user, or if the Web or file server is not running, access privileges are reassigned to the owner of the computer the next time the server starts up. This process may cause a delay in startup.
