Data Management:DeleteUser

Last Updated:Aug 27, 2026

Deletes an Alibaba Cloud account that is no longer used.

Operation description

The effect of deleting a user by calling this operation is the same as that of deleting a user by choosing System Management > User Management in the DMS Enterprise console. The administrator of DMS Enterprise can call this operation to delete a user that is no longer used from DMS Enterprise. After the user is deleted, the data source permission, data owner configuration, and database administrator (DBA) configuration of the corresponding Alibaba Cloud account or Resource Access Management (RAM) user are revoked and become invalid.

Note

This operation only removes the association of the Alibaba Cloud account or RAM user with DMS Enterprise of the enterprise, rather than actually deleting the Alibaba Cloud account or RAM user. After the user is deleted, the Alibaba Cloud account or RAM user cannot log on to DMS Enterprise, unless the user is added to DMS Enterprise again.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
