Deleting users on Syncope without affecting external resources

Hi Henry,
I suppose you have created users in Syncope and, by associating to an 
external resource - say Active Directory, you got also accounts created 
in Active Directory.

By default, you have now that every modification in Syncope is 
propagated to Active Directory, including deletion.

If you don't want this, you will need to first unlink the user in 
Syncope from Active Directory: you can do this from the admin console, see

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SYNCOPE/Provisioning#Provisioning-Link/Unlink

for Syncope 1.2.X.
The feature is also available with 2.0, but not documented yet.

HTH
Regards.
