CONFIGURING

Deleting a user
You can delete a user name with the Administration Process by initiating a delete person command from the Domino® Administrator, by using the Web Administrator, or by using the Microsoft™ Windows™ Active Directory. When you delete a user name, you might want to add that user to a "termination" group to prevent the user from accessing servers. When you create a termination group, assign the group type Deny Access to the group.
