<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,<BR>
You don't need to change anything at this unprivileged user, just grab them from the inactive users list and activate them, it makes no sense to hold them twice inside the rt db.<BR>
<BR>
If you really like to get rid of them, use rtx-shredder and shred them with ruslans tool, that's more secure, but never do this inside the db, otherwise you will find yourself in big trouble ;-)<BR>

In your previous post, you mentioned that sometimes you want to create a<BR>
particular user, but can't because this new users email address is already<BR>
taken by a user that got automatically created.<BR>
<BR>
To fix that, you do exactly what you are doing - you manipulate/change the<BR>
address of the inactive user, then create the new user with the correct<BR>
email address.<BR>
<BR>
Yes, you can merge users. There are examples of how to accomplish this in<BR>
the Wiki (I think) as well as archived postings to this list. I would<BR>
search there first.<BR>

Ooookay, I found out how to find them... Just a % in the search<BR>
field...<BR>
<BR>
But is there a way to somehow merge them together or clean them out<BR>
consistently? Because I can find the same user with at least three<BR>
different versions of his email address or typos of it and the like. For<BR>
now it seems I have to learn some more SQL...<BR>
<BR>
