How to Manage Pending User-Related Tasks

This topic explains the procedure required by the system when a user is deleted from a directory service and this directory service has been integrated with the system. This will only be necessary if you selected the option for the system to request confirmation before applying deletions performed in the directory when you created the integration task. If you did not, users deleted in the directory will also be deleted from the system automatically.

For details on integrating an external directory with the system, see Chapter 17: Administration -> Integrations -> Integration Tasks -> Creating a Task to Integrate with an LDAP.
