In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), select the folder containing the cluster. 1. [Navigate to](../../console/operations/select-service.md#select-service) **Yandex Managed Service for Valkey™**. 1. Click the name of your cluster and select the ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/persons.svg) **Users** tab. 1. Click ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/ellipsis.svg) and select **Delete** next to the user you want to delete. 1. Confirm user deletion. - CLI {#cli} If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../cli/quickstart.md#install). The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id ` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions. To delete a Valkey™ user: 1. See the description of the CLI command for deleting a user: ```bash yc managed-redis user delete --help ``` 1. To delete a user, run this command: ```bash yc managed-redis user delete \ --cluster-id= ``` Where `--cluster-id` is the cluster ID. You can get the cluster ID with the [list of clusters](cluster-list.md#list-clusters) in the folder. You can get the username with the [list of users](user-list.md#list) in the cluster. - Terraform {#tf} 1. Open the current Terraform configuration file with the infrastructure plan. For information on how to create this file, see [Creating a cluster](cluster-create.md). 1. Delete the `yandex_mdb_redis_user` resource with the target user’s description. 1. Make sure the settings are correct. 1. In the command line, navigate to the directory that contains the current Terraform configuration files defining the infrastructure. 1. Run this command: ```bash terraform validate ``` Terraform will show any errors found in your configuration files. 1. Confirm updating the resources. 1. Run this command to view the planned changes: ```bash terraform plan ``` If you described the configuration correctly, the terminal will display a list of the resources to update and their parameters. This is a verification step that does not apply changes to your resources. 1. If everything looks correct, apply the changes: 1. Run this command: ```bash terraform apply ``` 1. Confirm updating the resources. 1. Wait for the operation to complete. 1. Run this [CLI](../../cli/quickstart.md#install) command to make sure the user was deleted: ```bash yc managed-redis user list \ --cluster-id= ``` Learn more on how to get a list of users [here](user-list.md#list). {% note warning "Timeouts" %} The Terraform provider sets the following timeouts for Yandex Managed Service for Valkey™ cluster operations: * Creating a cluster, including by restoring it from a backup: 15 minutes. * Editing a cluster: 60 minutes. * Deleting a cluster: 15 minutes. Operations exceeding the timeout are aborted. {% cut "How do I change these limits?" %} Add the `timeouts` section to your cluster description, such as the following: ```hcl resource "yandex_mdb_redis_cluster_v2" "" { ... timeouts = { create = "1h30m" # 1 hour 30 minutes update = "2h" # 2 hours delete = "30m" # 30 minutes } } ``` {% endcut %} {% endnote %} - REST API {#api} 1. [Get an IAM token for API authentication](../api-ref/authentication.md) and put it into an environment variable: ```bash export IAM_TOKEN="" ``` 1. Call the [User.Delete](../api-ref/User/delete.md) method, e.g., via the following [cURL](https://curl.se/) request: ```bash curl \ --request DELETE \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \ --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-redis/v1/clusters//users/' ``` You can get the cluster ID with the [list of clusters](cluster-list.md#list-clusters) in the folder. You can get the username with the [list of users](user-list.md#list) in the cluster. 1. Check the [server response](../api-ref/User/delete.md#yandex.cloud.operation.Operation) to make sure your request was successful. - gRPC API {#grpc-api} 1. [Get an IAM token for API authentication](../api-ref/authentication.md) and put it into an environment variable: ```bash export IAM_TOKEN="" ``` 1. Clone the [cloudapi](https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi) repository: ```bash cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi ``` Below, we assume that the repository contents reside in the `~/cloudapi/` directory. 1. Call the [UserService.Delete](../api-ref/grpc/User/delete.md) method, e.g., via the following [gRPCurl](https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl) request: ```bash grpcurl \ -format json \ -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \ -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \ -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/mdb/redis/v1/user_service.proto \ -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \ -d '{ "cluster_id": "", "user_name": "" }' \ mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \ yandex.cloud.mdb.redis.v1.UserService.Delete ``` Where: * `cluster_id`: Cluster ID. You can get the cluster ID with the [list of clusters](cluster-list.md#list-clusters) in the folder. * `user_name`: Username. You can get the username with the [list of users](user-list.md#list) in the cluster. 1. Check the [server response](../api-ref/grpc/User/delete.md#yandex.cloud.operation.Operation) to make sure your request was successful. {% endlist %}
