Delete a user account

Delete a user account to permanently remove the account from the

FactoryTalk Directory

. To prevent inadvertently locking an account out of the

, do not delete the last user account that is a member of the Administrators group.

To delete a user account from both a network directory and a local directory, delete the account from one directory, log off that directory, log on to the second directory, and then delete the account in the second directory.
