Deletes a user.

Prerequisites

The user that you want to delete is not associated with the following resources. If the user is associated with the resources, the deletion fails.

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) devices: You must unbind the MFA devices from the user. For more information, see DeleteMFADeviceForUser.
  • Access permissions: You must remove the access permissions on the accounts in your resource directory from the user. For more information, see DeleteAccessAssignment.
  • Groups: You must remove the user from groups. For more information, see RemoveUserFromGroup.

Usage notes

If System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) synchronization is enabled, you cannot delete a user that is synchronized by using SCIM.

This topic provides an example on how to delete the user whose ID is u-00q8wbq42wiltcrk****.
