Overview

This node allows you to delete an SSH user from the SSH SFTP User resource in the mittwald mStudio API. It is useful for managing SSH access by removing users who no longer require it, thereby enhancing security and maintaining proper access control.

A practical example would be automating the removal of SSH users when employees leave a company or when temporary access needs to be revoked.
