Deleting a user

To delete a user (SDK)

1. If you haven't already:

   1. Create or update an IAM user account with AmazonRekognitionFullAccess permissions. For more information, see Step 1: Set up an AWS account and create a User.

   2. Install and configure the AWS CLI and the AWS SDKs. For more information, see Step 2: Set up the AWS CLI and AWS SDKs.

2. Use the following examples to call the DeleteUser operation.

   Java

   This Java code example deletes a user.

   import com.amazonaws.services.rekognition.AmazonRekognition;
   import com.amazonaws.services.rekognition.AmazonRekognitionClientBuilder;
   import com.amazonaws.services.rekognition.model.DeleteUserRequest;
   import com.amazonaws.services.rekognition.model.DeleteUserResult;
   
   
   public class DeleteUser {
   
       public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
   
   
           AmazonRekognition rekognitionClient = AmazonRekognitionClientBuilder.defaultClient();
   
           //Replace collectionId and userId with the name of the user that you want to delete from that target collection.
   
           String collectionId = "MyCollection";
           String userId = "demoUser";
           System.out.println("Deleting existing user: " +
                   userId);
   
           DeleteUserRequest request = new DeleteUserRequest()
                   .withCollectionId(collectionId)
                   .withUserId(userId);
   
           rekognitionClient.deleteUser(request);
       }
   
   }

   AWS CLI

   This AWS CLI command deletes a user, using the create-user CLI operation.

   aws rekognition delete-user --collection-id MyCollection 
   --user-id user-id --collection-id collection-name --region region-name
