User / Action / delete

delete#

IAM.User.delete()#

Deletes the specified IAM user. Unlike the Amazon Web Services Management Console, when you delete a user programmatically, you must delete the items attached to the user manually, or the deletion fails. For more information, see Deleting an IAM user. Before attempting to delete a user, remove the following items:

  • Password ( DeleteLoginProfile )

  • Access keys ( DeleteAccessKey )

  • Signing certificate ( DeleteSigningCertificate )

  • SSH public key ( DeleteSSHPublicKey )

  • Git credentials ( DeleteServiceSpecificCredential )

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) device ( DeactivateMFADevice, DeleteVirtualMFADevice )

  • Inline policies ( DeleteUserPolicy )

  • Attached managed policies ( DetachUserPolicy )

  • Group memberships ( RemoveUserFromGroup )
