Deleting a SystemLink User Account

Updated Nov 27, 2024

Issue Details

I would like to remove a user account in SystemLink but I don't see the option to do so. How can I remove a SystemLink user account?

Solution

It is not possible to delete users through SystemLink web user interface.  If a user has no role-mappings, then they can't perform any operations, however, if you still want to delete the user account, there is API access to add, modify or delete users.

You can find information on this API or even execute the related command by using the Swagger UI, which you can access from your SystemLink web UI by navigating to the Help icon "?" >> HTTP API.

You'll need to start by querying the users to get the associated user ID, once you have the associated user ID, you can use the delete method to remove the user account.

Additional Information

You may also want to delete any associated auth mappings through the web UI, just to follow the general security principle of least privilege.  Also be aware that if the same user is added back to the server later, any existing auth mappings may be re-associated, which may or may not be your desired result.

If you delete the user, but they're still part of the Active Directory group mapped by Single Sign-On, the entry will just be created again the next time that user logs in.
