How to delete users permanently

[seema cyriac]

Hello

  I am in a situation  to reuse existing users, means I would delete a set of users from the courses with sis import(status deleted) and reimport them with status active. But their previous grades will be there in the gradebook  that I dont need actually.How I can delete those users permannetly from database, so that I can reuse them effectively.

 

Thanks for your time

Seema,

You'll need to change (remove) their SIS ID before deleting them. The easiest way to do this in bulk is to use the API: https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/logins.html#method.pseudonyms.update and https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/users.html#method.users.destroy.

THANKS Cody

   But I am using api very first time.I have created access token and executed curl https://<canvas>/api/v1/users/:user_id/logins/:login_id \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS-TOKEN>" \
  -X DELETE.

 I got an error message {"status":"unauthorized","message":"Invalid access token.","error_report_id":2302}
