User already exists

Asked By: Garret Stephenson Date: Jan 20, 2005 Category: Sharepoint Views: 572

I am adding a user and SharePoint recognizes the domain/usernamd but--
then says-- "Cannot add the user because a user with that name already
exists. "

Anyone ever see this.? We are using 2 domains -- one for internal
users and one for external users. We are serving SP to Extranet.

The user probably has been deleted from the site, but not site collection. Go to site collection admin and remove the user there.

Answer #2 Answered By: Monte Cooley Answered On: Jan 20, 2005

I just went to the Site Collection and went to ---
SiteSettings/ViewInformationAboutSiteUsers and the name is not
there. Plus I see no mechanism to delete names anyway!

When I go to SiteSettings/ManageUsers for the Site Collection, I see
just A FEW NAMES-- of those folks who are members of this "Highest"
level site!

Am I missing a control?

Answer #3 Answered By: Guadalupe Bullock Answered On: Jan 20, 2005

When I go to the Site Collection and 'manage users', all I see is a
very few user names-- just those who are assigned to the Site
Collection! Do you see the total of ALL users for all the
subordinate sites in this collection?

You can also check the profile database and user information table.

Answer #5 Answered By: Matt Prince Answered On: Jan 20, 2005

Are you suggesting to search the underlying SQL Server tables or is
the profile DB and User Info tables part of the SP Admin tools.

You see-- our Server Farm is admined by a centralized Corp Group and
I dont have access. I admin 2 portals, I dont have all the keys.

Answer #6 Answered By: Brooks Bond Answered On: Jan 20, 2005

You can access both through the admin UI:

Profile Database:
Portal Site Settings - Manage Profile Database (under user Profiles,
Audiences and Personal Sites)

User Information Table:
Portal Site Settings - Mange security and additional settings (under
General Settings) - Show User Information (under users and Permissions).
Here you can make edits.

Append this to your portal URL and you can delete users:

Try this Manage Site Collection Users screen:

plainly available through the UI.

In WSS
I have menu and menu items, I have to display the menu
and items depends on wether the user has rights to
access or not.

I used
SPRoleCollection spr= user.Roles;

while looping thru spr, exception throws" access
denied"

how i can check user roles?

This has been attempted by many and most have not completed the task. As
you may have already heard, all user interface elements will likely be
security trimmed in the next release.

What menu do you specifically want to hide?
