Use ACL DELUSER to remove one or more ACL users and close any connections currently authenticated as them. Multiple usernames can be deleted in a single call. The reply is the number of users that actually existed and were removed, which can be lower than the number of names passed in.

Syntax

Arguments

Important points

  • The default user cannot be deleted; the command returns an error if it is included.
  • Deleting a user immediately terminates any of its active connections and subscriptions.

Response

The reply reports the result of the operation. Error replies have the same shape in RESP2 and RESP3 and are surfaced as exceptions by the SDKs below.
Client libraries often decode bulk strings, maps, sets, and numeric strings into language-native values. The table describes the Redis wire reply.

Examples

TCP examples use the TLS REDIS_URL from the Upstash console. REST examples use UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN.
