User2.5 Delete
This topic describes how to delete an existing user
Parameters
| Name | Type | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| psAuthContext | String | InOut | Deprecated proprietary authentication context only used by .ASMX web services based on internal username/password authentication. Claims based security standards drive all the WCF .SVC web services making this parameter redundant. |
| psUserId | String | In | The element name of the user (e.g. VUSERADMIN) |
Requirements are:
- Only an Administrator user can delete a user.
Note that:
- When you have an historical database, deleting a user can only be done if:
- No other object references the user like last-modified-by, author, reviewer,...
- No remaining event logging of the user
- Not specified as the author on a baseline
- Note that you can also deactivate and disable the user (see User.Update). A disabled user can no longer access the Content Manager repository.
