Hi, Yes I think that would be a very good feature. I think also that by default if users are invalid then they are NOT shown in the list.

From which I noticed, it seems OTRS only display *current* CustomerUser and CustomerCompany informations in TicketView so except that you won't be able to get these infos when displaying a ticket, you can delete from database in customer_user and customer_company the entry for this CU and CC. I've just done a test renaming in my ticket table of otrs database the value of customer_id to an unexisting customer_id value for a specific ticket number and OTRS generate no error except it no longer displays customer informations took from customer_user/customer_company tables.

I think that frontend is lacking of a link that can "Toggle valid/invalid display" CU/CC/Users/Groups ... so when you have 100 invalid CustomerUsers you can choose to display them with valid ones or not. It could be a good feature. BR, Laurent Minost Le mercredi 22 août 2007 à 11:42 +0200, Nils Breunese (Lemonbit) a écrit : Alan McKeown wrote:

I understand that but if things don't get deleted then the admin interface for users, customers etc becomes very messy. Deleting would be a good option. Is this possible?

I don't think it's possible, or at least not a good idea. I believe that when you would delete a customer, OTRS would have to also delete all the associated tickets and other data or the database would no longer be consistent. I believe that's why there is no delete option. Setting a customer to be no longer valid makes sure that customer can no longer login, but the customer's ticket history is still available for searching for instance.
