Inactive and delete a user

When a user is no longer required there are two options:

  • Set the user account inactive.
  • Delete physically the user account.

There are some implications in both approaches

Inactive users

Declaring a user inactive starting from a date (ActiveEndDateUtc) will forbidden this account to access to the system; without removing all information related to this user.

A inactive user can be activated again resetting the ActiveEndDateUtc.

Deleted users

Deleting physically a user is possible, however we have to consider how this will affect to the downstream. As we could be referencing this user in many places.

This option is not available from UI, it must be used directly calling to the API: DELETE /Authorization/Users/{username}.
