Resource Management:Delete a member of the resource account type

Process

Check items for member deletion

Check items at the resource directory level

Before you delete a member, the system checks whether the following requirements are met:

• Member deletion feature

  You can delete a member only if the member deletion feature is enabled for the resource directory to which the member belongs. For more information, see Enable the member deletion feature.

• Account used to delete a member

  For security purposes, you can use only a RAM user or RAM role to which the AliyunResourceDirectoryFullAccess policy is attached within the management account of your resource directory to delete a member. You cannot use the root user of the management account to delete a member.

• Member that you want to delete

  • You cannot delete a member that is a delegated administrator account of a trusted service.

    If the member that you want to delete is a delegated administrator account of a trusted service, you must remove the delegated administrator account for the trusted service before you delete the member. For more information, see Remove a delegated administrator account.

  • You can delete only members of the resource account type.

    You can remove a member of the cloud account type from a resource directory but cannot delete it in the Resource Management console. After a member of the cloud account type is removed from a resource directory, the member becomes an independent Alibaba Cloud account. You can follow the related process to delete the account.

Check items at the member level

When you try to delete a member, the system checks whether the related requirements are met. If the member does not meet the requirements, you can perform operations based on the related solutions and delete the member again.
