Delete Users in Bulk

[yyround]

Hi guys,

any one know of a way to delete users in bulk?

I noticed that about 30 users have left our department and would like to remove them from the system, is there a quick way for me to delete them in bulk? does it have to be done through a TI? If yes, can I ask for a copy of the code?

Thanks in advance.

1/ Save the list of users as a plain text file;
2/ Specify that file as the data source;
3/ Use the DeleteClient(ClientName); function in the Metadata tab.

Alan's solution will work, but if you are authenticating via BI, it is possible for the deleted clients to "come back" so to speak, simply by logging back into the TM1 service. Provided they have the credentials (AD, for example) of course.

This behaviour can be easily prevented by using a config parameter available from version 10.2.2 FP5 onwards.
