You can delete an identity.

Method and URI

To get an {identityUserId} value based on its name, follow the instructions in Getting an {identityUserId}.

None.

Example: Delete an identity

Assume that you have an identity AD-sarah.wiseman ({identityUserId} 2101).

A Python snippet that is similar to the following example can be used to delete the identity:

identity_user_id = "2101"    # AD-sarah.wiseman

requests.delete('https://' + spp_ipv4 + '/api/identity/user/'
    + identity_user_id,
    headers={...}, verify=...)

Ensure you get a response with the HTTP status of 204 (No Content) and that you no longer see the identity item AD-sarah.wiseman.
