@shanmugapriyab To the best of my knowledge, I don't think a user can be deleted after the creation. The only way is to deactivate the user account.

To reiterate what I said above, I strongly advise against directly altering the primary database unless explicitly instructed to do so by Appian Support. Please do not make changes to the "usr" table.

@shanmugapriyab The only solution is to deactivate the user in your case as per my knowledge. And prior to deactivating the user, you need to take care of the tasks or processes (that were run under the context of user) associated with the corresponding user object.

Hi vetrivelk,
you need to take care at the design of the process model.
Its good to follow the configuration "run as who ever designed this process model"instead of "Run as who ever started the process" in the Assignment tab of the node.
All the Tasks that are assigned to the user are no longer available when that user is deactivated
For this you need to design a process report and then display the tasks in a grid and allow an option to reassign that task to the Group or User.
