User is not getting deleted from Person table even if deffered deletion is 0

Hi

I am trying to delete the user in One IM and even from all the targets. So, I set, IsInActive = "True" and deffered deletion is "0". In this case, user accounts are getting deleted in targets but not in one IM i.e the user is still there in Person table. Please suggest how can this be resolved. Thank you.

  • For starters, did you try to delete the person?

  • if I manually delete the person, it gets deleted. But the user should get deleted automatically in this case,isn't it? 

  • No.  If they are IsInactive, they are...inactive...not deleted.  The system is behaving as designed.

  • ohh ok. so it will never get deleted automatically and needs to be deleted manually, is it? 

  • ok thank you so much for the quick response

  • I have one doubt here. what is the use of deffered deletion then? My understanding was if is inactive and deffered deletion is set to 0 days, the user should get deleted immediately. I have referred below link

  • A user is not a person.  If a person loses an account definition (for whatever reason) then delayed deletion will delay the deletion of the user account.  But a person account will never be automatically deleted.

  • When you carefully read the documentation from the link you will see that there is more than one use case in regards to account deletion.

    And setting Person.IsInActive to 1 is the use-case to permanently disable an employee, not to delete him.

    Think about the deferred deletion of a person as a grace period where you are able to recall your decision with the ability to restore this person including all inherited permissions.
