Delete Users

Hello!

 

I wanted to know if it's possible to delete users, I don't see the option in the web user interface, and when using the API (I'm using the Mule Cloud Connector for Salesforce) I receive the message INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS_OR_READONLY even when my user is Admin.

Thanks!

No You can not delete user but you can perform two things

 

1)Deactivate User : For this you set "IsActive" field on User objet as false

   IsActive : Indicates whether the user has access to log in (true) or not (false). You can modify a User's active status from the Salesforce user interface or via the API.

 

Ex : 

 

User u = [Select id from user where id =: userID; //userId is variable which has the id of user to be deactivated

 

 

 

2)Disable user : This option is only for portal users.You can disable a portal user by setting "IsPortalEnabled" as false. Ths will delink aportal user from contact.

 

IsPortalEnabled : Indicates whether the user has access to the partner portal or Customer Portal (true) or not (false).

 

You might have to use higher version of class to use IsPortalEnabled field of user.

You can not delete the user. In fact you can deactivate the user.

Hi there,

 

I am having the same issue. I am trying to update the IsPortalEnabled field to false and but for some reason it reverts back to True. I am doing this within a test method. I just posted a question on the forum with all the code details. You can find it here: http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/Apex-Code-Development/Customer-Portal-Disabling-User-and-Setting-Account/td-p/622769

 

Hope you would be able to help. Thank you.
