Resource Management:Remove a resource account member

Workflow

Pre-deletion checks

Resource Directory checks

Before a member is deleted, the system automatically checks whether the following Resource Directory conditions are met:

• Member deletion permission check

  You can delete a member only after you enable the member deletion permission. For more information, see Enable the member deletion permission.

• Operator check

  As a security best practice, you can delete a member only by using a RAM User with administrative permissions (AliyunResourceDirectoryFullAccess) under the Management Account. You cannot use the root user of the Management Account to delete a member. For more information, see Create a RAM user.

• Deletion target (member) check

  • You cannot delete a Delegated Administrator Account.

    You must first remove the role from the Delegated Administrator Account before you can delete the member. For more information, see Remove a delegated administrator account.

  • You can only delete members that were created in Resource Directory (members of the resource account type).

    You can only remove Alibaba Cloud accounts that were invited to join your Resource Directory (members of the Alibaba Cloud account type) from the Resource Directory. You cannot delete them within Resource Directory. To delete these accounts, follow the standard deletion process for an Alibaba Cloud account.

Account checks

Before you delete a member, the system automatically checks whether the member meets the following conditions. If a member fails a check, implement the proposed solution before trying to delete the member again.

Procedure

1. Log on to the Resource Management console.

2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Resource Directory > Management.

3. On the Resource Organization View or Member List View tab, find the target member of the resource account type. In the Actions column, click the more icon () and select Delete.

4. In the Delete Member dialog box, carefully read the on-screen information, enter the account name of the member, and then click Deletion Check.

5. The pre-deletion check takes 3 to 5 minutes to complete. You can click Run in Background to close the dialog box and monitor the status of the pre-deletion check in the Status column.

6. After the pre-deletion check is successfully completed, in the Actions column, click the more icon () and select View Deletion Check Results. Then, click Delete.

7. After the deletion check is complete, proceed based on the result:

   • Check passed

     The member enters the Silence Period. During this period, the member is unavailable. After the Silence Period ends, the system automatically starts the deletion process, which you cannot stop. For information about when the Silence Period ends, see FAQ about managing members.

   • Check failed

     Manually resolve the issues according to the on-screen instructions. Then, try deleting the member again.
