Is there a way to clear all users?

[arganus]

After MUCH testing - we are getting ready to deploy Alfresco Enterprise… is there an easy way (short of manually) to delete the users that are in the current database?

Is rebuilding your database an option?

[arganus]

I'd rather not rebuild the WHOLE database - merely just delete all the "test users" and start the userbase fresh

[rliu]

Ultimately, if rebuilding the database is not an option, then you're either going to have to bootstrap a class or have a service invoke a webscript to delete the users.

Look at the PersonService.deletePerson(String userName) for more information.

Does deleting just the user delete the references to each user throughout? I am sure they must be referenced in other tables…

[rliu]

Using the APIs within should be the only way developers (excluding Alfresco Engineers, which I am not) should manipulate any data. I would never try to perform any add/update/delete transactions directly in the database as I don't full knowledge of how the schema is designed.

As we purchased the Enterprise version, one would think we would get the database schema as well - but cannot find it anyway in any documentation
