Delete User

Delete existing user objects from a tenant, permanently removing user accounts and associated data with proper authentication.

Overview

The Delete User endpoint allows you to permanently remove user objects from a specific tenant. When you delete a user, all associated user data, preferences, and access permissions are also permanently removed. This functionality is essential for:

• Removing inactive or terminated user accounts
• Cleaning up user data for compliance and privacy
• Managing user lifecycle within tenant boundaries
• Implementing user account termination workflows
• Maintaining data security and access control

Warning: User deletion is irreversible. All data associated with the user will be permanently lost.

Delete User

Remove an existing user from a specific tenant using DELETE: /v1.0/tenants/{tenant-guid}/users/{user-guid}. This endpoint permanently removes the user account and all associated data from the tenant.

cURL

curl --location --request DELETE 'http://localhost:8701/v1.0/tenants/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/users/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer *********' \
--data ''

JavaScript

import { LiteGraphSdk } from "litegraphdb";

var api = new LiteGraphSdk(
  "http://localhost:8701/",
  "<Tenant-Guid>",
  "*******"
);

const deleteUser = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await api.User.delete("<user-guid>");
    console.log(data, "check data");
  } catch (err) {
    console.log("err:", JSON.stringify(err));
  }
};

Python

import litegraph

sdk = litegraph.configure(
    endpoint="http://localhost:8701",
    tenant_guid="Tenant-Guid",
    access_key="******",
)

def delete_user():
    litegraph.User.delete(guid="user-guid")
    print("User deleted")

delete_user()

Response

Upon successful deletion, the API returns a 200 No Content status code, indicating that the user has been successfully removed. No response body is returned for successful deletions.

Best Practices

When deleting users, consider the following recommendations:

1. Verify Dependencies: Check if the user has any dependent data or active sessions before deletion
2. Backup Important Data: Consider backing up critical user data before deletion
3. Confirm User Selection: Double-check the user GUID to ensure you're deleting the correct user

Next Steps

After successfully deleting a user, you can:

• Clean up any orphaned references in your application
• Update any dependent systems that referenced the deleted user
• Review remaining users in the tenant
