Deactivate users immediately (you can remove them later). When you run 
reports, you can continue to retrieve information about meetings scheduled by 
deactivated users. When other MeetingPlace objects (meetings) no longer 
refer to that user, remove the user from the database.
You can use two methods for maintaining the user database:
Use MeetingPlace Directory Services Gateway.
If you have 
MeetingPlace Directory Services Gateway installed, it maintains the user 
database automatically. By using the corporate directory for profile 
information, MeetingPlace Directory Services Gateway greatly simplifies 
profile management and guarantees a more accurate record of profiles 
stored on the MeetingPlace server. It also adds a level of security by 
deleting profiles whenever a user is removed from the corporate directory. 
Properly managing profiles means former employees cannot continue 
accessing the MeetingPlace system. (For more information, see the 
MeetingPlace Directory Services Gateway System Manager’s Guide.)
Maintain the database manually.
If MeetingPlace Directory Services 
Gateway is not installed, you must maintain your system. This section 
discusses how to manually maintain your user database. The following 
sections describe how to maintain the user database manually.
Deactivating users and groups manually
You can deactivate a single user profile or group, multiple profiles 
simultaneously, or multiple groups simultaneously.
Deactivating single user profiles or groups
To deactivate a single user profile or group:
1.
In the Register Book, select the 
Configure
 tab.
2.
View the record for the user profile or group you want to deactivate. (For 
information about viewing, see 
)
For profiles, in the 
User active? 
field, choose 
No
.
For groups, in the 
Group active?
 field, choose 
No
.
3.
Click 
Save Changes
.
This action deactivates all user profiles for all users in the group whose 
User active?
 fields are set to 
Group dflt
.
Deactivating multiple profiles
If you have several users to deactivate, you can deactivate them all using the 
import process.
To deactivate multiple profiles using the import process:
1.
Create an import file with three fields: uid (user ID), prfnum (profile 
number), and uactive (user active).
