6.5.3. Effect of app deinstallation#

When you uninstall an app, the Management UI removes the checkbox for user activation from the Apps tab. The App Center removes the extended attribute definitions for that app from the LDAP directory service. However, the App Center retains the user activation data that it stored on user or group objects. If you reinstall the app, the Apps tab shows the stored activation data again.
