# --- # Delete User # --- # see: https://docs.mattermost.com/manage/command-line-tools.html#mattermost-user-delete # There are two levels in user deactivation/deletion: # # The first one is user deactivation which is what you performed. After deactivating a user, # that user becomes archived and you can still search him/her and read their messages in # channels. # # The second is user deletion. You can do this via a CLI command. Note that when you permanently # delete a user, all their posts and past activities will get permanently deleted. # Permanently delete a user and all related information, including posts from the database. # # Requirement: # Set "EnableAPIUserDeletion" to "true" in file /opt/mattermost/config/config.json and restart mattermost # # /opt/mattermost/bin/mmctl user delete # # Note: # Does not delete content from the file storage. You can manually delete all file uploads # for a given user as uploads contain the CreatorId field.
