How to delete a user from an imported Document Vault

Former Member
Former Member
Dear All,

I've installed M-files version 6 on Windows 7 (both 64-bit).

Then I imported a Document Vault from version 5 of M-Files

As far as I understand it, a user account from the imported Document Vault
was also migrated, but now I want to get rid of it and delete it (see attached screenshot).

When I highlight the Core333\Carel account however, there is no option to delete it.

Is there a way to remove this account?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.


Regards,

Carl.

    I can try quick answer, but correct me if I'm wrong.

    With M-server you have the server (services) and vaults(place for objects). You can have several vaults under the server.

    First, to be able to use server, you create login account. Then you can add users for each vault separatedly. Some users can be under all vaults and some can open only one.

    Now, if you open the M-files server Administration, you see the "hierarchy". Accounts are under Server connections and users are under each vault.

    You can delete user from vault first disabling the user. Then you get the choice "Delete" visible.

    Login Accounts can be either disabled (for example for short time) or deleted.

    Did this clarify things? So now you have to disable the user from users and then you can delete it.
