The sign-in account is kept, disabled, so the audit history stays joinable and re-inviting them later does not create a second identity. Takes effect at once: an access token they already hold keeps decoding for up to an hour, and every request made with it is refused. **Only the account owner may remove somebody** — 403 `not_customer_owner` for everyone else. Changing what a person reaches needs only ordinary access; removing the person is the owner's act. The owner cannot remove themselves (409 `cannot_delete_owner`): transfer ownership first, and the new owner removes them. A guest — somebody who belongs to another account and reaches organisations here by invitation — answers 404, because their account is not yours to remove. Take back the access you granted through `/users/{principalId}/organisations` instead. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/specs/administration.json delete /users/{principalId} openapi: 3.0.1 info: title: Administration API description: >- Manage your Flow Payroll account: the organisations it owns, the people who can sign in to it, the API tokens it holds, its brand, and a feed of recent administration activity.
