3.3. Removing User Data

Remove a former user's application and domain data if they are no longer required.

Warning

The following procedure removes all of a user's application data from the system and cannot be reversed.

Procedure 3.2. To Remove User Data:

  1. Prevent the user from creating more gears by running the following command on the broker host: 
    # oo-admin-ctl-user -l username --setmaxgears 0
  2. Retrieve the user's domain and application names: 
    # oo-admin-ctl-domain -l username | egrep -i '^name:|^Namespace:'
  3. Remove the user's applications by running the following commands for each application found in the previous step: 
    # oo-admin-ctl-app -l username -a app1 -c stop
# oo-admin-ctl-app -l username -a app1 -c destroy
    Use the force-destroy parameter to remove particularly troublesome applications: 
    # oo-admin-ctl-app -l username -a app1 -c force-destroy
  4. Delete the user's domain: 
    # oo-admin-ctl-domain -l username -c delete -n testdomain
The user's application data is now removed and the user cannot create any new applications; the account is effectively deactivated.
To reactivate a user's account, set the maximum amount of gears to a desired amount. Note that the --setmaxgears option may be restricted based on the user's configuration settings: 
# oo-admin-ctl-user -l username --setmaxgears 5
