Remove an identity

DELETE/portal/v1/accounts/{accountSlug}/applications/{appSlug}/environments/{envSlug}/identities/{id}

Removes an identity from the current Environment without hard-deleting the Identity row (the same person may belong to other Environments in the Account). The Environment membership is flipped to deactivated so it stays reversible, every role assignment at nodes in this Environment is dropped, and any still-pending invite for that email into this Environment is revoked. Assignments and memberships in other Environments are untouched. Returns 204 No Content; returns 404 when the identity has no membership in this Environment.

Authentication

Bearer TokenAuthorization

JWT access token. Never send alongside X-API-Key: a request carrying both is refused.

Requires capability env_identities.manageDeveloper Console

Create, invite, edit, and remove identities and assign their roles. Granted through an administrator role in the Admin Workspace; a valid token without it is refused with 403.

Production Environments require production_identities.accessDeveloper Console

Access identities in production Environments. Applies to users only, and only in an Environment marked production: its identities are real end users. API keys and identity principals are exempt.

Ask an account administrator to grant a role carrying the capability named in the Authentication section, then retry.

403environment.production_identities_forbiddenForbidden
When it happens

The Environment is marked production and the caller is a user without production identity access.

Remediation

Manage these people in the Admin Workspace, or ask an administrator to grant the Production Support role, then retry.
