Summary
I would like clarification on what it means when a user is marked as deleted
Details
After reading the documentation of the LDAP user cleanup, I'm unsure what exactly the LDAP cleanup is doing when it detects that a user no longer exists in the LDAP. I'll try to give my understanding of the process
- A user is found to be unavailable on LDAP
- The user is marked as
deleted in the oc_preferences table. The user now shows up with occ ldap:show-remnants
- The cleanup deletes the items listed on the documentation page (group assignments, user preferences, home folder,
oc_storages entry.
What remains of the user on the Nextcloud instance? The user account still exists and has to be manually deleted, but what other data of the user is still there while it is in its "marked deleted" state?
I think the page would benefit from a rewrite to clarifiy these things.
