SID-01867: Deleting user from TWiki !!!

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.0	Perl version:	v5.10.1
Category:	CategoryError	Server OS:	CentOS release 6.5	Last update:	11 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to delete a registered user from my TWiki. I followed below steps:

• Deleted the user from the .htpasswd file
• Deleted the user entry in Main.TWikiUsers
• Removed the user from all groups
• I didn't remove "Main.username" because I need the user data.

After doing this I can still see the user in URL:

http://..../twiki/bin/view/Main/UserList

Please suggest what else to be done to remove the entry from Main.UserList

Thanks, KP

Do we need to click on Edit from the user profile and need to choose the template as "None"? is this right?

My intention is - want to preserve the user data and want to delete the user from TWiki site.

I have clicked on raw edit and erased First Name, Last Name..... from his UserForm and saved. Now the user was disappeared from the URL: http://.../twiki/bin/view/Main/UserList

Is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks

For others who are wondering how to remove the form from a user profile page:

• TWiki-6.0 and up: Go to the "More topic actions" screen, follow the "Add or replace form" link, and select "none"
• Pre-TWiki-6.0: Edit the topic, click on the "Change form" button, and select "none"
