Maintaining Security Assignments

As a system administrator or project administrator, you may be responsible for updating project information, deleting projects and users, and resetting passwords. Your authorization level will determine the extent of your maintenance privileges.

Deleting Projects

Both system and project administrators can delete projects.

If you are a system administrator, you can delete projects assigned to any project administrator or user. If you are a project administrator, you can delete only projects to which you have been granted access. Deleting a project removes a user's access to that project.

To delete a project, complete the following steps:

  1. Select the project row by clicking on the row number. You can select more than one project by dragging down the row numbers.

  2. Do one of the following:

  3. Press the Delete key

  4. Click Edit » Delete Project(s)

MPM prompts you to confirm the delete.

  1. To confirm the delete, choose Yes.

Deleting Users

Only system administrators can delete users. When you delete a user, MPM deletes the projects listed under the user. You cannot delete a user if the user is currently logged in to MPM, or if the user is being used as an Equivalent User. The default SYSADMIN user cannot be deleted.

To delete a user, complete the following steps:

  1. Select the user row by clicking on the row number. You can select more than one user by dragging down the row numbers.

  2. Do one of the following:

  3. Press the Delete key

  4. Click Edit » Delete User(s)

MPM prompts you to confirm the delete.

  1. To confirm the delete, choose Yes.
