A vault server user account that was imported from an Active Directory domain or promoted to an Active Directory domain can be demoted, creating an vault server -only account. Once demoted, the account is unique to the vault server and no longer associated with the user's Windows account.
- In the User Management dialog, select an Active Directory account and then select Actions
Demote Domain User. When the account is demoted, the domain name is removed from the user name. As a result, the demoted account may collide with an existing vault server account with the same name. If the vault server account name already exists, you are prompted to rename the demoted account.
Note: Windows Authentication is available in Autodesk Vault Professional.
The vault server account retains the vault server group membership and permissions but is no longer associated with the Active Directory account. The password for the demoted account is reset to be blank.
Note: Once an account has been demoted from the Active Directory, the associated user can no longer log into the vault server using Windows authentication.
