Deleting a users from Crowd - impact to external AD

Sean Parchmann

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Deleting or Deactivating a User

If you 'delete' a user from Crowd and you are synchronizing (read/write) with AD, will it 'delete' the user from the external AD? 

Bruno Vincent

Yes, it will.

Unless:

• The "remove user" option is unchecked in the permissions tab of your directory in Crowd's admin console
  
  OR
  
  
• The technical AD account you defined in the username property of your directory's connector tab has read-only rights in AD (which means non AD Admin in most cases)
