Bulk delete users or groups
You can delete users simultaneously using a CSV file. Your role must include the permission to delete users. To delete users in bulk, you need to download the CSV file containing the user list.
Note: Users connected to Identity as a Service through Active Directory synchronization and users with a Super Administrator role cannot be deleted in bulk.
Attention: Users without a Super Administrator role can delete themselves from Identity as a Service when bulk deleting users by including their user names in the .CSV file uploaded to Identity as a Service. Be careful which names are included in files uploaded to Identity as a Service for bulk deletion.
CVS file format requirements
The header row in your CSV file contains only one column with userId as the value.
The following is a sample CSV file to help you get started:
userId
user1
user2
user3
user4
