PURGEUSER
Removes a user from an account.
Syntax
PURGEUSER user[.acctname]
Parameters
user Name of the user to be deleted.
acctname Specifies the name of the account in which the user
is found. Default is the logon account of the
account manager.
Operation Notes
Account managers use the PURGEUSER command to delete a user from an
account. You are asked to verify the command only when it is executed
during a session, and not from a job. To do so, respond YES or NO to the
message:
USER user TO BE PURGED? (YES/NO)
An attempt to purge a user currently logged on to the system fails, and
an explanatory message is displayed:
IN USE: CAN'T BE PURGED.
The user can only be purged if the user is not logged on when the
PURGEUSER command is issued. An attempt to purge MANAGER.SYS always
fails, since this user can never be purged if the user is logged onto the
system.
If files created by a purged user remain after the user is purged from
the system, the system manager can remove them with the PURGEACCT
command, or the account manager can eliminate them by executing
PURGEGROUP.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK.
Pressing Break has no effect on this command.
To execute this command, the account must be the same as the logon
account of the command issuer unless that user has system manager (SM)
capability.
Example
To remove a user named USER1, enter:
PURGEUSER USER1
USER1 TO BE PURGED? YES
