This guide explains how to create an auto-deactivating-user task in OpenMRS. The task involves setting the "number of days to retire users" via the user interface and running the auto-deactivation task.

Setting the Number of Days to Retire Users

  1. Log in to OpenMRS.

  2. Set the global property users.numberOfDaysToRetire as numeric value (e.g. 2)

  3. Save the changes.

Running the Auto-Deactivating User Task

The auto-deactivating user task is implemented as a scheduled task in OpenMRS. This task will automatically retire users who have been inactive for the specified number of days.

Note: Admin users (aka super users) will not be retired.

Steps to Schedule the Task:

  1. Set up configuration details for the task:

    • Name: Name of the task e.g. Auto Retire Users

    • Description: Short description of the task e.g. Retires all active users that are inactive for XX number of days specified by the value of the global property 'users.numberOfDaysToRetire'.

    • Start Time: Set the desired start time.

    • Repeat Interval: Set to desired repeat interval.

    • Start on Startup: Set to true if you want the schedule to start immediately after the application starts.

  2. Save the configuration.

The task will now be scheduled to run at the specified interval, automatically retiring inactive users based on the global property setting.
