Unmapping NT users and groups

Similar to mapping, it is possible to unmap users and groups using the administrative tool in Windows NT/2000, or Crystal Enterprise.

To unmap NT users and groups using Windows NT

1. From the Administrative Tools program group, click User Manager.
2. Select Crystal NT Users.
3. From the User menu, click Properties.
4. Select the user(s) or group(s); then click Remove.
5. Click OK.

   The user or group will no longer be able to access Crystal Enterprise.

   Note:    The only exceptions to this occur when a user has an alias to an Enterprise account, or if your implementation allows users to create their own accounts through the sign-up feature. To restrict access, disable or delete the user's Enterprise account and disable the ability for guests to add users anonymously. For more information, see Managing Enterprise and general accounts.
