Important Notes

  • Irreversible: Deleted users cannot be recovered. Their artifacts and builds remain, but their account and authentication credentials are permanently removed.
  • --quiet default: In CI environments (when CI is set), --quiet defaults to true.
  • Requires admin privileges on the Artifactory instance.
  • Deleting a user does not remove them from groups. Clean up group memberships separately if needed.
