[EP-tech] command line user delete?
Hi Herbert,
I am not aware of anyway of programmatically removing a user from the
command line.? There is the EPRINTS_PATH/bin/toolbox that can do
standard API like operations but only for eprints, documents and files,
including delete in a way similar to how you may intend for these
spurious users.? It may be possible to extend this but would need to be
done with care.
I assume in your scenario they are unused user accounts with no eprints
associated.? These would be safe to delete but those with eprints would
need to have a mechanism for reassigning them or at least confirm the
person using the command is happy for them to be deleted as well.? I
think this is probably why there is no command line tool to do this, as
it could be rather dangerous.
Regards
David Newman
