Delete a user

Deleting a user removes the user account itself from a self-hosted Coolify instance. This is different from removing a member, which only ends a person's membership in the active team while their account stays available.

Before you delete a user

• You must belong to the root team. Only root team members can delete users from the UI.
• The root team and the root user cannot be deleted.
• Confirm which teams the user belongs to and what resources those teams own.

Delete the user

1. Go to the Team page.
2. Switch to the Admin View tab. This lists every user registered in Coolify.
3. Select Delete next to the user you want to remove.

What happens during deletion

Coolify iterates over every team the user belongs to and applies these rules per team:

The user is alone in the team

The team and all of its resources are deleted from both the servers and Coolify's database.

The user is not alone in the team

1. The user is the owner or admin, no other owner or admin exists, and the team has other members:

   • Ownership transfers to the first team member who is not the owner or admin.
   • The user is removed from the team. No resources are deleted.

2. The user is the owner or admin, no other owner or admin exists, and the team has no other members:

   • The team and all of its resources are deleted from both the servers and Coolify's database.

3. The user is not the owner or admin of the team:

   • The user is removed from the team. No resources are deleted.
