Delete User

Version 4.0.26.12 (latest)

Delete the user with a specific id.

This action cannot be undone. If you want to keep the user's content, we recommend disabling their accounts instead of deleting them.

Deletion will have the following impact:

  • Their reports, Looks and dashboards will be moved to Trash.
  • Any public URLs owned by them will no longer work.
  • Schedules created by the users or that use their content will be deleted.
  • Alerts will continue to run, but will not be visible or editable from the dashboard.

The user cannot delete themselves. The last administrator user cannot be deleted.

Deleting Service Accounts via this endpoint is deprecated and can be blocked in future versions. Please use the dedicated delete_service_account endpoint.
