Hi all

How can I delete ApEx users en-masse? These are Application Express users that I want to remove from a workspace. I have > 300 of them to remove and doing it one by one would take an age!

At the moment it looks easier to drop and re-create the workspace but that seems a bit drastic to me....

Thanks,
Steve

    Hi,
    i suggest you to create a FOR LOOP cursor where you repeatedly call the following API procedure:

    APEX_UTIL.REMOVE_USER(
    p_user_id IN NUMBER,
    p_user_name IN VARCHAR2);

    If you execute it from within SQL Workshop, i guess you won't need to set the workgroup security id, if you are logged as workspace administrator.

    Bye,
    Flavio

    Thanks for that, I wondered if I'd need to do it via PL/SQL or not... I'd hoped there was some UI page that I'd somehow missed and could delete multiple users that way.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    FYI... this was the final script I run from SQL Workshop -> SQL Commands :
    begin
  for t in (select user_id
              from wwv_flow_users
             where user_name not in v('APP_USER'))
  loop
    apex_util.remove_user(p_user_id => t.user_id);
  end loop;
end;
    It removed every user except me (the workspace admin). The 'in' list could of course be extended to exclude other users.....
