 RT::Shredder::Plugin::Users - search plugin for wiping users.
 
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+This shredder plugin removes user records from the RT system. Since users
+can be connected to many other objects in RT, these connections must be
+resolved in some way before removing a user record. RT will not
+automatically shred linked objects (i.e., tickets, transactions,
+attachments, etc.) when attempting to shred a user.
+
+RT provides the following options for handling linked objects.
+
+=head2 Replace User
+
+This option locates all records currently referenced by the user you with
+to shred and replaces the reference with a reference to the user record you
+provide. This can be another real user or a placeholder user. Once these
+references are updated, the original user can be shredded.
+
+You can use this option with the replace_relations argument.
+
+=head2 Delete Objects First
+
+If you wish to completely remove all records associated with a user, you
+can perform searches and remove objects using other shredder plugins first.
+For example, if the user is a requestor on one or more tickets, first use the
+Tickets shredder plugin and search for "RequestorEmail = user1 at example.com".
+Once all associated objects are removed, you may then use the users plugin
+to shred the user record.
+
+If you receive an error when trying to shred a user, it's possible it is still
+reference by other objects in RT.
