Remove User

This page provides steps for removing a user from a DTaaS installation. The username alice is used here to illustrate the steps involved in removing a user account.

The following steps should be performed:

1. Remove an existing user with the DTaaS CLI.

2. Remove backend authorization for the user:

  • Navigate to the docker directory
1
cd <DTaaS>/docker
  • Remove these three lines from the conf.server file
1
2
3
rule.onlyu3.action=auth
rule.onlyu3.rule=PathPrefix(`/alice`)
rule.onlyu3.whitelist = alice@foo.com
  • Run the command for these changes to take effect:
1
2
docker compose -f compose.server.yml --env-file .env up \
  -d --force-recreate traefik-forward-auth

The extra users now have no backend authorization.

3. Remove users from GitLab instance (optional):

The GitLab docs provide additional guidance.

4. The user account is now deleted.

Caveat

The two base users that the DTaaS platform was installed with cannot be deleted. Only the extra users that have been added to the software can be deleted.
