1. To change a roaming user to a nonroaming user, you must have

• At least Author access to the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Directory
• If the user has author access they must have one of the following:
  1. UserModifier Role
  2. Be listed in the LocalAdmin or Owner field of the user's Person document
• Must have Delete document privilege in the Domino Directory

3. Choose People and select one or more roaming user name(s) you are changing to nonroaming.

4. From the tools pane, click People - Roaming.

Note If you selected a mixed group of roaming and nonroaming users, the Mixed Roaming Profile dialog box appears and prompts you to select either roaming or non-roaming. Click the check box "Remove roaming profiles from <n> selected users. " In this case, <n> is the number of roaming users selected.

Tip Run the process in the background so that you can use the Administrator client while requests are processed.

The procedure changes the user's status in their Person document from roaming to nonroaming. To verify that the change has been made:

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the People & Groups tab.

2. Click People and then select the user you changed to nonroaming.

3. Click Edit Person to open the user's Person document.

4. Click the Roaming tab. The "User Can Roam" field should display No.

To approve the mail file deletion

If you chose to change a roaming user to nonroaming, you must approve the deletion requests in the Administration Requests (ADMIN4.NSF) database. Changing a roaming user to nonroaming, requires that the user's roaming files and replicas are deleted.

1. From the Domino Administrator, choose Server - Analysis - Administration Requests.

2. Select the Pending Administrator Approval view.

3. Depending on your choices when you changed the user from roaming to nonroaming, do one of these:

• If you are certain that you want to approve one or more deletion requests without looking at detail information for those requests, select the requests, and click Approve Selected Requests and then click OK.
• If you would like to see detail on one or more requests before approving the deletion of roaming files, select and open the request, click Edit Request, review the detail information, then choose Approve Replica Deletion, or choose Reject Replica Deletion.
