Deactivating a principal (i.e. a user) prevents them from logging in to any applications that use the Crowd framework. You would typically do this when a user leaves your organisation.

Deleting a principal removes them completely from the relevant directory.

Consider deactivating instead of deleting

We recommend that you deactivate a principal rather than delete them, in case some applications contain historical data, e.g. documents that the user has created. Read more.

To deactivate a principal,

  1. Login to the Crowd Administration Console.
  2. Click the 'Principals' link in the top navigation bar.
  3. This will display the Principal Browser. Select the relevant directory, locate the principal you wish to deactivate, and click the 'View' link that corresponds to the principal.
  4. This will display the 'Principal Details' screen. Deselect the 'Active' check-box, then click the 'Update' button. The principal will now be unable to log in to any applications which use the Crowd framework. 

To delete a principal,

  1. Login to the Crowd Administration Console.
  2. Click the 'Principals' link in the top navigation bar.
  3. This will display the Principal Browser. Click the 'View' link that corresponds to the principal you wish to delete.
  4. This will display the 'Principal Details' screen. Click the 'Remove Principal' link at the top-right of the screen.

The principal will be removed from the relevant directory and will no longer appear in the Principal Browser..
