mc admin user disable

Syntax

The mc admin user disable command disables a MinIO user on the target MinIO deployment.

Clients cannot use the user credentials to authenticate to the MinIO deployment. Disabling a user does not remove that user from the deployment. Use mc admin user enable to enable a disabled user on a MinIO deployment.

To manage external Identity Provider users, see OIDC or AD/LDAP.

The following command disables user myuser on the myminio MinIO deployment:

mc admin user disable myminio myuser

The command has the following syntax:

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] admin user disable   \
                            ALIAS     \
                            USERNAME
  • Brackets [] indicate optional parameters.
  • Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.
