| ## Deleting a User When users leave your organization, you might need to delete the user from the cell. Use the user delete command to do this. This operation removes the principal name from the registry which, in turn, deletes the account and removes the principal from any groups and organizations. The operation also deletes the /.:/users/principalname directory and any contents from CDS. You need numerous permissions, such as those generally associated with cell administrator, to delete a user. See the user object reference page. The following example operation removes user P_Pestana from the cell: dcecp> user delete P_Pestana dcecp> You can remove multiple users from your cell by specifying a list of user names as an argument to the user delete operation, as follows: dcecp> user delete {W_Rosenberry J_Hunter P_Pestana} dcecp> If you have permissions in a foreign cell, you can remove one or more users from that cell by specifying the global principal name of the users to be deleted. For example: dcecp> user delete /.../their_cell.goodco.com/J_Jones dcecp> ##
