Dear Nate,

Thanks for your answer.

1. I could not find it in the admin panel in the UI. When I click on "Manage users", I get the user list and can select users, but there is no "Delete User" button.

2. Which call in the code deletes a user? I can then write my own API method.

3. If I try to reset passwords for more than one user at a time, I get the error trackback:

 TypeError: Odd-length string URL: http://128.135.107.157:8080/admin/reset_user_password
Module weberror.evalexception.middleware:364 in respond         view

Module encodings.hex_codec:42 in hex_decode         view
>>  output = binascii.a2b_hex(input)
TypeError: Odd-length string

4. A similar problem occurs when I try to delete multiple data libraries under "Manage data libraries". One library deletion works, but multiple yields an error message:

Invalid Library id ( df7a1f0c02a5b08e,0a248a1f62a0cc04,03501d7626bd192f,3f5830403180d620,2a56795cad3c7db3,417e33144b294c21,5a1cff6882ddb5b2,2d9035b3fc152403,4b187121143038ff,c9468fdb6dc5c5f1,1e8ab44153008be8,e85a3be143d5905b ) specifield.

Thanks so much in advance,
Oren

Dear All,
Is it possible to delete a galaxy user or multiple users with a UI call or an API call?

Hi Oren,

Deleting users via the API is not currently implemented, but it can be done under the admin panel in the UI.  Adding it to the API would likely be fairly trivial.

Thanks,
Oren
