Python API: Delete a user from a review group

[Steve]

I'm trying to remove users from review groups using the Python API.  The docs indicate that the review group user resource has a delete method, but I can't figure out how to get it to work.  I can add a user to a group easily this way:

g.get_users().create(username='steve')

Unfortunately, this doesn't work:

g.get_users().delete(username='steve')

Nor does this:

g.get_user()[0].delete() 

or any other incarnation I've tried.  Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

It looks like it's not actually possible to delete a user from a review group using the Python API at the moment. Review Board seems to be returning an incorrect url which points to the user resource itself, rather than the review-group-user resource for the delete link. you can see that by looking at the example here: https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/webapi/2.0/resources/review-group-user/#example_application/vnd.reviewboard.org.user+json

"delete": {
    "href": "http://reviews.example.com/api/users/doc/",
    "method": "DELETE"
},

This is a bug in Review Board and will need to be fixed there to allow this.

Thanks Steven for confirming that.  I thought maybe I was going crazy!

Sorry I'm back.  Since I can't remove a user from a group using the API, I thought instead  I would make the user account inactive via the API. But I can't find a resource for that.  Is the 'active' flag for a user account exposed somewhere in the API?

I'm just trying to programmatically prevent departed employees from ending up in review requests when they're members of review groups.

Hi Steve,

That's not exposed in the API.

Would you mind filing a bug on both of these? We'll see if we can get them fast-tracked for a 2.0.20 release.
