# Delete a User based on the specified User ID

`DELETE /users/{user_id}`

You need `tenants.user.delete` permission to access resource
* SSH keys
* User's object itself
* all Workspaces and Contracts, where the User is **the only member**

These data objects are deleted automatically (e.g. due to expiration), so they won't be deleted right after User deletion:
* Flows activity records (used in order to show runlog)
* Logs of flow execution and repo build
* Invitations to the Team, Contract and Workspace
* Notifications
* If this User is a member of any Contract, which has one more Owner beside them then User's Teams and Repos will be transferred to the next Owner.
* If this User is a member of any Workspace, which has one more Owner beside them then User's Flows and Credentials will be transferred to the next Owner.
* If this User is the last Owner of any Workspace then given Workspace will be deleted with all data.
* If this User is the only member of Contract(s) then they will be deleted along with Contract and all the unique data connected with this User.
