votes

I am attempting to delete a user profile like this:

curl -X DELETE -k -n "https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_User_Customer/406673.json"

{"error":"Function (\"deleteObject\") is not a valid method for this service.","code":"SoftLayer_Exception_Public"}

How do I remove/delete a user profile? Sure hope the search of the API reference is returned.

To remove a user, try the following REST request:

https://[username]:[apikey]@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_User_Customer/[user_id]/editObject

Method: POST Json Payload:

{
  "parameters": [
    {
      "userStatusId": 1021
    }
  ]
}

The statuses for the user can be:

1001 = Active;
1002 = Disabled; 
1003 = Inactive; 
1021 = cancel_pending;
1022 = VPN Only
