Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Delete a user object.

When deleted, user resources, including their mailbox and license assignments, are moved to a temporary container and if the user is restored within 30 days, these objects are restored to them. The user is also restored to any groups they were a member of. After 30 days and if not restored, the user object is permanently deleted and their assigned resources freed. To manage the deleted user object, see deletedItems.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	User.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	User.ReadWrite.All	Not available.

The calling user must be assigned at least one of the following Microsoft Entra roles:

User Administrator
Privileged Authentication Administrator

To delete users with privileged administrator roles in delegated scenarios, the app must be assigned the Directory.AccessAsUser.All delegated permission, and the calling user must have a higher privileged administrator role as indicated in Who can perform sensitive actions.

In app-only scenarios, the User.ReadWrite.All application permission isn't enough privilege to delete users with privileged administrative roles. The app must be assigned a higher privileged administrator role as indicated in Who can perform sensitive actions.
