ee auth delete

Deletes http authentication for a site.

Without --user, removes every HTTP authentication user of the site (or of global). With --user, removes only that user. For global, the easyengine user is kept while admin tools or MailHog use it.

SYNOPSIS

ee auth delete [<site-name>] [--user=<user>] [--ip]

OPTIONS

[<site-name>]
: Name of website / global for global scope.

[--user=<user>]
: Username that needs to be deleted.

[--ip]
: IP to remove. Pass a comma-separated list (--ip=1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8) to remove those IPs, or --ip without a value to remove all whitelisted IPs.

EXAMPLES

# Remove all auth users from a site
$ ee auth delete example.com

# Remove one auth user from a site
$ ee auth delete example.com --user=example

# Remove all global auth users (admin tools keep their own login)
$ ee auth delete global

# Remove specific whitelisted IPs on site
$ ee auth delete example.com --ip=1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8
