Helix Core Server Administrator Guide: Fundamentals (2019.1)

Deleting obsolete users

Each standard user on the system consumes one Helix server license. A Helix server administrator can free up licenses by deleting users with the following command:

$ p4 user -d -f username

Before you delete a user, you must first revert (or submit) any files a user has open in a changelist. If you attempt to delete a user with open files, Helix server displays an error message to that effect.

Deleting a user frees a Helix server license but does not automatically update the group and protections tables. Use p4 group and p4 protect to delete the user from these tables.
