mc admin user disable

Syntax

The mc admin user disable command disables a MinIO user on the target MinIO deployment.

Clients cannot use the user credentials to authenticate to the MinIO deployment. Disabling a user does not remove that user from the deployment. Use mc admin user enable to enable a disabled user on a MinIO deployment.

To manage external Identity Provider users, see OIDC or AD/LDAP.

The following command disables user myuser on the myminio MinIO deployment:

mc admin user disable myminio myuser

The command has the following syntax:

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] admin user disable   \
                            ALIAS     \
                            USERNAME
  • Brackets [] indicate optional parameters.

  • Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.

  • Parameters separated using the pipe | operator are mutually exclusive.

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.

Example

Behavior

S3 Compatibility

The mc commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with MinIO and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.

MinIO provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported. While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
