DROP USER¶

Removes the specified user from the system.

See also:: CREATE USER , ALTER USER , SHOW USERS , DESCRIBE USER

Syntax¶

DROP USER [ IF EXISTS ] <name>

Copy

Parameters¶

name: Specifies the identifier for the user to drop. If the identifier contains spaces, special characters, or mixed-case characters, the entire string must be enclosed in double quotes. Identifiers enclosed in double quotes are also case-sensitive.

Usage Notes¶

Dropped users cannot be recovered; they must be recreated.

If you want to disable a user, use ALTER USER and set DISABLED = TRUE instead.

Caution

When you drop a user, the worksheets and dashboards owned by that user are also removed. To retain access to the users worksheets, the user must share the worksheets or a folder of worksheets with another user and grant them edit permissions, or copy the contents of the worksheets to worksheets owned by another user.

Examples¶

DROP USER user1;
