USER ADMINISTRATION
Chapter 2. MANAGING USERS
Deleting Users
The types of users you can delete and the libraries from which you can delete users are determined by your login mode (see Login Modes for more information). You cannot delete the “generic patron” or “generic guest” users.
- Users with currently checked out items
- Users with items on reserve
- Users with outstanding fines/fees or with funds on deposit
- Users against whom a “lost book” is currently registered.
NOTE: Circ-ILL systems are configured with the default user accounts (XXXX) and (XXXXADMIN), where XXXX is the library’s Library Code. These accounts can be deleted only by Customer SuperUsers.
To delete a user:
- Access the User Account list, and locate the user for whom you wish to delete the user record (see Viewing the User Account List for details).
-
Click
the Delete link for the desired user.
- The message “Continue to Delete (Username)?” displays.
- Click the OK button to delete the user. (Click the Cancel button to cancel
the deletion and return to the Select User Account list.)

additional browser window or tab.
- Click the Close button to close the confirmation message.
NOTE: In cases where one or more conditions exist that prevent the user record from being deleted, an advisory message displays in an additional browser window. The specified condition must be cleared before the record can be deleted.
