Provider Type Deletion in APIM Developer Portal

Question

For now, I only want users to sign in to my API Management service's developer portal through B2C. I've added Azure Active Directory B2C as a provider type in my developer portal. I was considering deleting both "Azure Active Directory" and "Username and Password" as provider types under "Identities", however I was curious as to if these provider types would be permanently deleted, or if in the future I wanted to bring them back, they could be easily be integrated back into the developer portal.

@hampton123 Thanks for reaching out. If you delete the "Azure Active Directory" and "Username and Password" provider types under "Identities" in your APIM service's developer portal, they will be permanently deleted there is no option to disable and enable it as required.

In the future, if you want to use these provider types again, you will need to add them back manually.
