SYNOPSIS

       sss_userdel [options] LOGIN

DESCRIPTION

       sss_userdel deletes a user identified by login name LOGIN from the system.

OPTIONS

       -?,--help
           Display help message and exit.

       -r,--remove
           Files in the user's home directory will be removed along with the home directory itself and the
           user's mail spool. Overrides the configuration.

       -R,--no-remove
           Files in the user's home directory will NOT be removed along with the home directory itself and the
           user's mail spool. Overrides the configuration.

       -f,--force
           This option forces sss_userdel to remove the user's home directory and mail spool, even if they are
           not owned by the specified user.

       -k,--kick
           Before actually deleting the user, terminate all his processes.

THE LOCAL DOMAIN

       In order to function correctly, a domain with “id_provider=local” must be created and the SSSD must be
       running.

       The administrator might want to use the SSSD local users instead of traditional UNIX users in cases where
       the group nesting (see sss_groupadd(8)) is needed. The local users are also useful for testing and
       development of the SSSD without having to deploy a full remote server. The sss_user* and sss_group* tools
       use a local LDB storage to store users and groups.
