Delete a user

You can delete a user through the Puppet Enterprise (PE) console. This deletes only the user's PE account. It does not delete the user's listing in any external directory service.

Deletion removes all data about the user except for their activity data, which continues to be stored in the database and remains viewable through the Activity service API.

If you delete a user and then create a user with the same full name and login, PE issues a new user ID for the new user record. When this happens, requests to the Activity service API about this ID return information from both the deleted user record and the new user record. However, in the PE console, the new user record's Activity tab does not display information about the deleted user's account.
  1. In the console, on the Access control page, click the Users tab.
  2. In the Full name column, locate the user you want to delete.
  3. Click Remove.

    You can't delete users with superuser privileges. The Remove button is not available when viewing these users.
