Deleting Subscriber Accounts


Deleting Subscriber Accounts


When a subscriber leaves the organization or otherwise no longer needs a Cisco Unity account, delete the account in the Cisco Unity Administrator. When you delete a Cisco Unity subscriber account, Cisco Unity removes all data associated with the subscriber account from a SQL database on the Cisco Unity server.

In addition, Cisco Unity removes the small subset of the subscriber account information is stored in the Domino address book.

Note that deleting the Cisco Unity account does not delete the Windows domain account (if there is one) or the Domino Person document for that subscriber. As needed, the Windows domain account can be deleted separately after the subscriber account is deleted in the Cisco Unity Administrator.

It is important that you delete the subscriber in the Cisco Unity Administrator before you delete associated accounts in Windows and Domino, so that Cisco Unity can perform the following tasks:

Delete the subscriber from other Cisco Unity accounts, handlers, or call routing rules that send calls to the subscriber.

Prompt you to reassign to another subscriber any call handlers that the subscriber owned or was the message recipient of.

Prompt you to reassign to another subscriber any public distribution lists that the subscriber owned, and to remove the subscriber from all public distribution lists.

When you delete a subscriber who was assigned to review the messages sent to any of the following Cisco Unity entities, make sure that you assign another subscriber or a public distribution list to replace the deleted subscriber; otherwise, messages may be "lost."

Unaddressed Messages distribution list

System Event Messages distribution list (because the Example Administrator is the only member of this distribution list by default)

Operator call handler (because the Example Administrator is the only member of this distribution list by default)

Opening Greeting call handler

Good-Bye call handler

Example Interview call handler
