Removing a user

When a user account is no longer in use, you should delete it. If any configuration objects, such as a user group, reference the user account, you must remove the references before deleting the user.

To remove references to a user:

1. Go to User & Authentication > User Definition.
2. If the value in the Ref. column is not 0, click it.
3. FortiOS displays a list of object references to the user. Use this information to remove these references.

To remove a user using the GUI:

1. Go to User & Authentication > User Definition.
2. Select the desired user.
3. Click Delete, then OK.

To remove a user using the CLI:

config user local

delete exampleuser

end
