delete-service-account

dci delete-service-account [flags]

Permanently deletes a service account and all of its API tokens, which stop authenticating immediately. Deleting an ID that no longer exists returns 404. Requires the serviceAccountManager permission.

Flags​

FlagTypeDefaultExampleDescription
--dry-runbooleanfalseIf true, validates the request and returns the would-be result without applying it. The response then carries the X-Dry-Run header.

Every command also accepts the CLI-wide flags for output shaping — see Output formats and Table output options.

Output​

On success, this command produces no response data.

Errors​

On failure, dci prints a single error message — with a hint when one is available — and exits with a typed code your scripts can branch on. See Errors and exit codes for the full contract.
