Disable a User in a Qubole Account

POST /api/v1.2/accounts/disable_qbol_user

This API is used to disable a user in a particular Qubole account.

Required Role

The following users can make this API call:

  • Users who belong to the system-user or system-admin group.
  • Users who belong to a group associated with a role that allows disabling users. See Managing Groups and Managing Roles for more information.

Parameters

Note

Parameters marked in bold are mandatory. Others are optional and have default values.

Parameter Description
qbol_user_id ID of the user, who should be disabled. Or, it can also be the email address of the user. View Users of a QDS Account describes how to get the users of a Qubole account. Send the get_users API request. From the successful response, trace the user-id and email, and use its id value.

Note

Once a user has been disabled, while all their active scheduled jobs continue to be triggered, they start failing. Qubole e-mails the system-admin users of the account with details of the active scheduled jobs owned by the disabled user. Qubole recommends that the system-admin users change the ownership of these jobs after disabling the user. For more information, see Changing the Owner of a Schedule.
