Because security accounts are such a critical area of the entrée system, NECS recommends disabling security accounts as opposed to deleting them. This allows for entrée  to maintain proper history logs for whomever performed certain tasks, such as creating invoices or applying payments. However, there may come a time when you wish to delete a security account.

 

Deleting a User Account

1.Click the Users button, located on the toolbar of the Security Manager utility, if it is not already in a "down" state.
2.Select the user account that you wish to delete in the account listing area.
3.Click the Delete button and a Confirm message box will display.
4.Click the Yes button to confirm the deletion of the user account.

 

Deleting a Group Account

1.Click the Groups button, located on the toolbar of the Security Manager utility, if it is not already in a "down" state.
2.Select the group account that you wish to delete in the account listing area.

The SMS doesn't physically delete the security accounts, but instead flags the account with the date that it was deleted. To physically purge the accounts from the SMS, the Purge YTD files utility must be run.
