Deleting user accounts using the appliance CLI

On a local system, you have the ability to delete user accounts using the device's CLI. The instructions below will provide the steps necessary to delete the user account.

Note

For a managed appliance, you can perform this procedure on the Central Management System appliance as well as the local appliance. The procedure remains the same. However, you will need to take the additional step to locate the appliance on the Central Management System CLI. For instructions on locating an appliance on the Central Management System CLI, see the Trellix Central Management System Administration Guide.

Prerequisites

Admin access

To delete an existing account:

Go to CLI configuration mode:

hostname > enable 
hostname # configure terminal

To delete a specified user, use the following command:
```
no username <userName>
```
The following example deletes the user account for nx‑3_operator:
```
hostname (config) # no username nx-3_operator
```
Save your changes:
```
hostname (config) # write memory
```
