DELETE /users/<sid>

Deletes the user with the specified ID (sid), regardless of whether they are a user defined in RBAC or a user defined by a directory service. In the case of directory service users, while this action removes a user from the console, that user is still able to log in (at which point they are re-added to the console) if they are not revoked. Authentication is required.

Remember: The admin user and the api_user cannot be deleted.

Request format

For example, to delete a user with the ID 3982a629-1278-4e38-883e-12a7cac91535 by using a curl command:
