Deleting access privileges for a user or group

You can delete access privileges for a Copy Services Manager user or group. When you delete access, the user or group ID cannot access the Copy Services Manager GUI or run commands from the command line.

About this task

Perform the following steps to delete user or group access:

1. Log in to Copy Services Manager as a user with administrator privileges.
2. In the menu bar, click Settings > Administration. The Administration page is displayed with a list of Copy Services Manager users and user groups and their associated role.
3. Select the user or group for which you want to delete access.
4. From the Select Action list, select Delete Access.
   Important:

   • At the command line, you can use the rmuser and rmauth commands to delete user access privileges. The rmuser command is for users from the basic user registry, and only removes access for those users. The rmauth command must be used to remove access for LDAP users.

     See rmuser and rmauth for more information on using these commands.See the Copy Services Manager Command-Line Interface User's Guide for more information on using the rmuser and rmauth commands.

   • When you delete access for a basic user, the user is deleted and the user's access is removed. When you delete access for an LDAP user or group, or, for example, a RACF user or group on z/OS, only access is removed. The user or group is not deleted from the LDAP registry or the RACF repository.
5. A warning message appears for you to confirm that you want to delete access for the selected user. Select Yes to delete, or No to cancel.
