Mass deleting users from the portal

[Former Member]

Hi-

We have set-up groups in the portal and assigned users to their corresponding groups. Currently we have just been deleting users from groups manually, one-by-one. However, it has recently come up that we need to mass delete some users from our portal and we were wondering if this is possible? In research, I've found that mass uploading of users and their corresponding information is possible. Is the mass deletion of users and their information possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Carrie

I know this is a very old post but just in case someone else happens to stumble on the thread wanting to mass delete. Steps to achieve are as follows;

1. Create a list of users you want to delete (maybe export members of a group etc)

2. Create an import script to modify a searchable attribute of the user - in this case I added 'department=DeleteMe'

[User]
uid=user1@gmail.com
department=DeleteMe
group=SelfRegistrationInitial;
[User]
uid=user2@gmail.com
department=DeleteMe
group=SelfRegistrationInitial;

3. Mass update all the target users with the attribute using the import function

4. Using Advanced Search find all users with the value DeleteMe for Department

5. Select All the users

6. Delete

Right now we are continuing to delete the users manually until we come up with a long-term solution on storing user information.

I think using pragram you can do this in portal.

As u told that u want to delete user from portal permanetly . If your UME is configured to LDAP it will not be possible . You will have to delete user from LDAP .

Thanks Padmanaban for your reply. I did read that document it helped somewhat. But, I guess I was wondering if there is any way we can mass delete portal users without having to do customization (custom code, etc)?
