Delete a Linked User Account

Required User Role: Administrator

If you want to remove a linked user account, you must delete the linked account. You cannot convert a linked user account into a standalone user account. For more information about linked user accounts, see Linked User Accounts.

Note: If you want to delete an Administrator with linked user accounts, you must delete the linked accounts associated with the Administrator before deleting the Administrator.

To delete a linked user account:

1. Log in to Tenable Security Center Director via the user interface.

2. Click System > Users.

   The Users page appears.

3. Apply a filter to view the organization for the user you want to delete, as described in Apply a Filter.

4. In the row for the linked user account you want to delete, click the menu.

   The actions menu appears.

5. Click Delete.

   A confirmation window appears.

6. (Optional) If you want to migrate the user's objects, click the toggle to migrate the user's objects to another user. Tenable Security Center Director supports migrating:

   • Active scans, agent scans, and scan results
   • Custom assets, credentials, audit files, and scan policies
   • Freeze windows
   • Queries
   • Tickets and alerts
   • ARCs
   • Dashboards
   • Reports, report images, report attributes, and report results

   If you do not migrate the user's objects, Tenable Security Center Director deletes the user's objects.

   Note: You cannot migrate objects when deleting an Administrator user because all Administrator-created objects are shared across Tenable Security Center Director and remain accessible after user deletion.

7. Click Delete.

   Tenable Security Center Director deletes the user.
