aws iam delete-user
Deletes the specified IAM user. Unlike the AWS 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)
Options
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
--user-name <string> | The name of the user to delete. This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@- |
--cli-input-json <string> | Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally |
--generate-cli-skeleton <string> | Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value ``input``, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for ``--cli-input-json``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command |
