Removes a JumpCloud User

Remove-JCUser [-Username] <String> [-force] [-CascadeManager <String>]
 [<CommonParameters>]

Remove-JCUser -UserID <String> [-ByID] [-force] [-CascadeManager <String>]
 [<CommonParameters>]

The Remove-JCUser function will remove a JumpCloud user from the JumpCloud organization. This will remove the deleted users access to any JumpCloud bound resources.

PS C:\> Remove-JCUser cclemons

Removes the JumpCloud User with Username 'cclemons'. A warning message will be presented to confirm this operation.

PS C:\> Remove-JCUser cclemons -Force

Removes the JumpCloud User with Username 'cclemons' using the -Force Parameter. A warning message will not be presented to confirm this operation. If the cclemons is a manager of other users, the Force parameter will clear cclemons' subordinates manager field. In other words if a user is managed by cclemons, removing cclemons will also remove that user's manager field in JumpCloud.

PS C:\> Remove-JCUser cclemons -CascadeManager null

Removes the Jumpcloud user with Username 'cclemons'. If cclemons manages other JumpCloud users, those user's will have their manager field set to null. Note. This command as the same effect as running Remove-JCUser cclemons -Force

PS C:\> Remove-JCUser cclemons -CascadeManager automatic

Removes the JumpCloud user with the username 'cclemons' and automatically update's their subordinates manager field to cclemons manager. Ex. If cclemons is a manager and is also managed by another user with username: some.manager, the users managed by cclemons will be reassigned to some.manager upon cclemons removal. If cclemons is not managed by anyone, the manager field for the cclemons subordinates will be set to null.

PS C:\> Remove-JCUser cclemons -CascadeManager User -CascadeManagerUser some.manager

Removes the JumpCloud user with the username cclemons. If cclemons is a manager, their subordinates will be reassigned to the manager specified by the provided username/id with CascadeManagerUser parameter. In this case, cclemons subordinates will be managed by the user with username: some.manager after cclemons is removed.

Use the -ByID parameter when the UserID is passed over the pipeline to the Remove-JCUser function. The -ByID SwitchParameter will set the ParameterSet to 'ByID' which will increase the function speed and performance.
