Anonymize Collaboration user

You can anonymize deleted Collaboration users according to GDPR.

Prerequisites

The user was deleted in ARIS Administration.

Procedure

  1. Start ARIS Cloud Controller.

    ACC is a command-line tool (see ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC) Command-Line Tool.pdf contained in the downloaded ARIS installation package, ARIS Download Center, or Empower) for administrating and configuring an ARIS installation. It communicates with ARIS Agents on all nodes.

    To start ACC under a Windows operating system click Start > All Programs > ARIS > Administration > Start ARIS Cloud Controller. If you have changed agent user credentials you must enter the user name and/or the password.

    To start ACC under a Linux operating system, execute the acc10.sh shell script instead. To do so, enter: su -c acc10.sh aris10.

    To get information about the usage of ACC commands, enter help or help <command>.

  2. To anonymize, for example, the deleted y4711 user on ecp_m on the default tenant, enter:

    invoke anonymizeUser on ecp_m user.list="y4711" tenant.id="default"

Collaboration synchronizes every 24 hours. That means that the anonymization is not immediately visible.

Activities of this Collaboration user, such as posts, comments, groups, are shown with Anonymized user instead with the y4711 user name. If several users are anonymized a number is added, such as Anonymized user 2.
