Hi Team,

Is there is any way to delete bulk Inactive user account from Webex control hub.

Thanks

It would be "best" if Cisco listened to their customers and provided this type of functionality via Control Hub, instead of the unrealistic expectation that their customers provide the API programming!   This specific request is a component of user-management, and even though they have the capability (via API), they don't provide us with the tool and capability.   I spoke with a Cisco Engineer, and the rationale was effectively based on risks.   Well - that isn't acceptable; they should address the risk via Control Hub - maybe granting that type of operational functionality to specific admin users.

But yeah - their only solution is to "do it yourself".   That is inappropriate and great of example of ignoring the customer.   They allow us to do a bulk creation - but not a bulk deletion or inactivation.   Does anyone else see their lack of providing proper user-management tool in Control Hub?   Instead, they just say to "do it yourself with our API tool".

Hi Kevin, 
There is an open feature request for this that we'd recommend up voting. 
https://ciscocollabcustomer.ideas.aha.io/ideas/WXCUST-I-15919
It's currently marked as future consideration but I don't see anything internally where it's in process. Adding more votes to that may help with increasing priority since that's what the product teams use to gauge interest.

Thanks - I'm submitting it now. I'm impressed this was "seen"!!
I worked in it for over 30 years, and I've always had the perception of what is the best solution for supporting the customer. In my case the customer has always been coworkers, staff, faculty, and students.
I just posted an update on the voting page. I didn't know it existed, but I would bet the majority of Webex administrators (world-wide) would endorse this!

Do you mean you want to do this on Control hub? Or are you looking to do this through API? 

We can only help from API side, and the only way to achieve this is to write your own script to leverage the https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/scim2-user API. There is an "active" field that returns false when the user is deactivated on Control hub. You could iterate through all your org's users to find users who aren't active and delete them. You'd have to send the delete API request on loop for each user though, there isn't any API that bulk deletes users.

Hi @ranjankumar-thakur 

There is no way to perform bulk deletion of users from the Control hub.
