This guide will show you how to delete a user from the self-hosted Coolify instance.
If you delete a user, and Coolify still has connection to the servers, it will delete all the resources on the servers as well, not just from Coolify’s database.
Only users who are in the root team can delete users from the UI.
  • Go to the Team page.
  • Switch to Admin View tab.
Here you can see all the users registered in Coolify. Click on the Delete button next to the user you want to delete.
