Is there a way we can easily delete users from Bonita DB through GUI? I tried to look for documentation and I could find is way to disable user or remove from group or delete avatar.

An user cannot be deleted, but can easily be disabled in the Portal, just select the user in the administrator’s view and click in “Deactivate” button. If you want remove this user from groups or roles is simple, just click “More” and delete the concerned membership.

With UserAPI you can do it, but take care to avoid delete users that are assigned users in tasks (even archived tasks) because it can create an inconsistency in the database.

Deleting users is a dangerous practice regarding to buisness consistency. [See this question for details](http://community.ofelia.com/answers/how-delete-user-bonita-61-rest-api) .

Thanks for your response. I was looking specifically for delete of users and not removing members from group.
