    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      Currently, Confluence REST API only offers GET methods when it comes to users, as described in the API documentation available here.

      Main option to delete/disable users is through the UI of the application. We would like to suggest an implementation of a DELETE or DISABLE method (or BOTH) in the API so we can delete/disable users through it.

      PS: It is also important to consider that it would be safer to implement a DISABLE option instead of DELETE, since the API can be accessed by anyone outside of the application with an administrator password.

            There should be a deletion, not just disable. And it is no more unsafe than the same functionality in Jira REST API
