Making users and groups inactive

You can make users and user groups inactive.

Inactive users and groups cannot log in to the Rational® ClearQuest® environment or have defect records assigned to them. They do not appear in choice lists of users in Rational ClearQuest client.

To preserve historical information and maintain data integrity, the Designer retains the names of inactive users in the database to which those users were subscribed.

To make a user or user group inactive:

  1. In Start the Designer. Then click Tools > User Administration.
  2. In the User Administration window, change the appropriate setting:
    • To make a user inactive, right-click the user and clear all user privileges, including Active User.
    • To make a group inactive, right-click the group and clear Active.
  3. Add the changes to the user database. In the Upgrade window, click DB Action > Upgrade, and then click OK. For more information, see To apply schema changes to the user database .

To make a user or user group active in the User Administration Tool, select Active User for the user or Active for the group; click DB Action > Upgrade and click OK in the Upgrade window.
