When a user registers an account for the purpose of subscribing to change notices, submitting content, or the like, DSpace creates an EPerson record in the database. Administrators can manipulate these records in several ways.
Please note that when a user has submitted content, his EPerson record cannot be deleted because there are references to it from the submitted item(s). If it is necessary to prevent further use of such an account, it can be marked "cannot log in".
