Removing a Named Account or Device
You can remove a Named User or Named Device from the Named Users list at any time. This will revoke the user or device's license and free it to be allocated to a different Named User or Named Device. When a user has been removed from the list, that user will no longer be able to log in; when a named device has been removed from the list, users will no longer be able to log in from that computer unless they have a Named User license of their own.
There are two ways to remove a named user from the Named Users list: from the repository trustees list, or from the master Named Users and Devices list. Named devices can only be removed from the Named Users and Devices list.
To remove a user from a repository's trustees list
- Start the Laserfiche Administration Console.
- In the console tree, expand the desired Laserfiche Server item.
- Select the desired Laserfiche repository.
- Log in as a user with the Manage Trustees privilege.
- Expand the Users and Groups node and select the node for the type of user you want to remove:
- Repository Named User: Select the Users node.
- Windows Directory Named User: Select the Windows Accounts node.
- LDAP Directory Named User: Expand the LDAP Management node and select the Accounts node.
- Select the user you want to remove from the Named Users list.
- Do one of the following:
- Right-click, or open the Action menu, and point to All Tasks. Select Remove from Named Users.
- Right-click and select Properties, or select Properties from the Action menu. In the General tab, clear the Named User option. Click OK to save your changes.
- Click the Remove selected account(s) from the named user collection toolbar button.
To remove a user or device from the master Named Users and Devices list
- Start the Laserfiche Administration Console.
- In the console tree, select the desired Laserfiche Server item and log in as a System Manager.
- Expand the Named Users and Devices node.
- Select the user or device you want to remove.
- Press the DELETE key, right-click and select Delete, or open the Action menu and select Delete.
To remove a user from a repository's trustees list
- Start the Laserfiche Web Administration Console.
- Select the desired Laserfiche Server item.
- Select the desired Laserfiche repository.
- Log in as a user with the Manage Trustees privilege.
- Select the appropriate option under Accounts.
- Click on the user you want to remove from the Named Users list.
- On the User properties page, make sure False is selected under the Named User option.
- Click Save to save your changes.
To remove a user or device from the master Named Users and Devices list
- Start the Laserfiche Web Administration Console.
- Select the desired Laserfiche Server item and log in as a System Manager.
- Select the Named Users and Devices tab.
- Select the user or device you want to remove.

Note: Removing a user's Named User status will not remove that user from the repository. The user must be manually deleted if you wish to remove them from the repository.
