Delete from Windchill removes users from the Windchill database. Delete from Windchill and delete form Windchill and directory server will remove user from both the Windchill DB and the LDAP (provided Windchill has READ/WRITE permissions on that LDAP).
Below is an extract from the WHC on this topic
The results of deleting a user from the Windchill database are:
•The user is removed from all groups.
•All access control policy rules that specifically identify the user are removed.
•The user is removed from all notification lists within notification policy rules and, if deleting the user from the list results in an empty list, then the rule is also deleted.
•When a user is deleted, the entitled license is automatically returned to the pool of available license count.
•If the user was a member of a local or shared team, the user row in the Members table includes (Deleted) after the user name to inform the team that the user has been deleted. The deleted user can then be replaced or removed from the team.
•A user can be created with an identical user name as a user that was previously deleted, but if the original user's personal cabinet was not deleted, the new personal cabinet will have a different name.
•If a deleted user is specified as the user of a collection defined in the index properties, a stack trace prints in the method server log when an attempt is made to index an object.
The results of deleting a user from both the Windchill database and the directory service include all results described earlier for deleting a user from the Windchill database and additionally include the following:
•A user is not authenticated when attempting to log into Windchill.
•The user's name is not included in search results.
If a user is not removed from the user directory service, a new user object is created in Windchill database when the user tries to log on or when the user is selected from a search. This new user object is not the same object that was deleted, and all of the results of the earlier deletion are still true. For example, the user is no longer a member of the groups to which the user had been a member.
After deleting a user from the Windchill database, you must perform the following clean-up steps:
•Reassign any items in the user's list of tasks.
•Unlock any objects the user has checked out of the Windchill database.
Hope this helps.
