REST API - delete Person

[ibodog]

I can create, update, query, etc a Person.   But no DELETE?  Why?  I've been Googling and can't find a mention of this anywhere. Using community v6.2.

I think there is no V1 api to delete person or at least it is not document in dcumentation if there is even any. 

However, you can use Person Update V1 api to disable the user as a workaround. If users are synced from AD, it is recommended to disable the user instead of deleting it.

If you still need to delete the user, use the Repository api: https://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/references/RESTful-PersonPersonDelete.html

Delete a person.

DELETE /alfresco/service/api/people/{userName}

The web script description document specifies the following options:

Value	Description
json	The default response format
admin	The authentication access
required	The transaction level
argument	The format style

Example:

HTTP DELETE Request:

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/people/testUser

Note that, only users with admin role can create/update/delete users and groups.
