Hi,
For last 7+ years in Windchill Production at Alcon, we stored Users & Groups information in Windchill Active Directory. Since June 2014, we have moved to our Corporate Active Directory. I would like to know how other companies handled users who have left the company. There are few things we have discussed internally, but would like to know more from the user community.
Process 1:
1) User ABC left the company.
2) It becomes disconnected principal in Windchill
3) Delete user ABC from Windchill
Process 2:
1) User ABC left the company
2) Associate user ABC to a new local user something like ABC - Deactivated which is only existing in Windchill Active directory.
I prefer process 1 stated above. Only issue with that I can forsee is we cannot search on what all activity user ABC has done in Windchill before leaving.
Process 2 gives advantages on searching on this user, because it is not disconnected anymore. However we are altering history here. Everywhere the user is replaced with ABC - Deactivated.
Let me know how it is handled at your end.
Thanks,
Preeti
