# Delete a user

You can use the v3 API to delete a user from your project. This helps automate user management.

## Step 1 - Find the user ID

List all users and copy the `id` of the account you want to remove.

```
GET /v3/projects/{project_id}/users
```

Tip

Use the `first_name`, `last_name` or `email` fields in the response to identify the correct account.

## Step 2 - Delete the user

```
DELETE /v3/projects/{project_id}/users/{user_id}
```

```
curl --request DELETE "https://apihub.document360.io/v3/projects/{project_id}/users/{user_id}" \
  --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

A successful deletion returns `204 No Content` with an empty body. The user is removed from the project. If the account does not exist, the API returns `404 Not Found`.

Important

Deleting a user is irreversible and takes effect immediately. Requires the **Manage roles, accounts and groups** permission. This endpoint is part of the premium API add-on — if it is not enabled for your project, the request returns `403` with the error code `PREMIUM_FEATURE_NOT_IN_LICENSE`.
