APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
On the Process Admin Console User Management page, you cannot delete users that have leading or trailing blanks. You do not receive an error message, but the user is not deleted. Even after you delete a user that has trailing blanks in the user name, you cannot recreate a user with the same name without blanks in the Process Admin Console. You can do this only in the administrative console.
Local fix
You can remove the blanks from the user name in the administrative console > Users and Groups > Manage Users > User Properties. Doing this will also fix the entry in the IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) database. A user name with and without trailing blanks is treated as the same user. Therefore when you delete a user that has trailing blanks, the user cannot be created again in the Process Admin Console with or without trailing blanks. For more information, see "Creating and maintaining users for an IBM BPM deployment environment" (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFTBX_8.5.7/com.ib m.wbpm.admin.doc/topics/managing_users_nd.html?cp=SSFTBX_8.5.7).
