[!Warning]

Deleting a user cannot be undone

Deleting a user is permanent and cannot be undone. All of the user's API tokens are also deleted.

What deletion removes

When you delete a user from {{% product-name %}}, the following are permanently removed:

• User account and credentials
• All API tokens owned by the user
• All active sessions

Delete a user

1. In the {{% product-name %}} UI, navigate to Users and click the user you want to delete to open their detail page.
2. Click Delete User.
3. In the confirmation dialog, confirm the deletion.

The user is immediately removed and can no longer authenticate with {{% product-name %}}.

Restrictions

• You cannot delete your own account.
• You cannot delete the owner — you must transfer ownership first.
• Only the owner can delete administrator accounts.

[!Tip] If you're unsure whether to delete a user, consider disabling them first. Disabled accounts can be re-enabled later.
