member.delete

Description

Delete a single member object.  Please see Deleting Objects for an overview of how the delete method works.

There are special considerations for deleting member objects, please understand them before calling this method.  When a member object is deleted, the username associated with that member is not released.  Therefore, any subsequence member.create for that same username will fail with a duplicate object error.  See member.create.

Parameters

username

A string representing the unique id of the member to delete.  You may also pass a json object with a field of id to identify the member you wish to delete.

Response

Delete returns null on success.

Examples

}

The JSON-RPC Response

Permissions Required

Errors

In addition to the standard json-rpc errors and authentication errors, member.delete may also return these errors:

500 2003 Delete Failed The object could not be deleted.  This is the error message of last resort for object deletions and usually indicates a systems integration failure, invalid internal data, or a transient issue.  These errors are logged by Mashery.
