Remove member

Endpoint

DELETE /organizations/{org_id}/users/{user_id}

This endpoint removes a member from the organization. This is typically a “soft delete” – the user account may still exist globally but is removed from this specific organization. Their assigned tasks might become unassigned or require reassignment.

Request

Replace {org_id} with your Organization ID and {user_id} with the numeric ID of the member to remove.

Headers

  • Authorization: Bearer {your_access_token}
  • Accept: application/json
  • X-Tallyfy-Client: APIClient

Query parameters (optional)

The Swagger definition indicates optional parameters for handling reassignment of the removed member’s tasks:

  • with_reassignment (boolean): Set to true if you want to reassign items.
  • to (integer): If with_reassignment=true, provide the User ID of the member to whom tasks, etc., should be reassigned.

Example: ?with_reassignment=true&to=1002

Body

No request body is needed for this DELETE request.

Code samples

const accessToken = 'YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN';
const orgId = 'YOUR_ORGANIZATION_ID';
const userId = 12345; // ID of the member to remove
const reassignToUserId = null; // Optional: Set to ID (number) of member to reassign tasks to


// Construct query string if reassigning
const params = new URLSearchParams();
if (reassignToUserId != null) {
  params.append('with_reassignment', 'true');
  params.append('to', reassignToUserId.toString());
}
const queryStr = params.toString();
const apiUrl = `https://go.tallyfy.com/api/organizations/${orgId}/users/${userId}${queryStr ? '?' + queryStr : ''}`;


const headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Authorization', `Bearer ${accessToken}`);
headers.append('Accept', 'application/json');

    if (!response.ok) { // Expect 200 OK on success usually
        // Try to parse error JSON, fallback to text

            });
    }
    console.log(`Successfully removed member ${userId}. Status: ${response.status}`);
    // API might return the details of the removed user
    // Use response.text() first as body might be empty or non-json on 200 OK
    return response.text().then(text => {
        try {
            return text ? JSON.parse(text) : null;
        } catch (e) {
            console.warn("Could not parse response body as JSON:", text);
            return null;
        }
    });
})
.then(data => {
    if (data) {
      console.log('Removed member details (if returned):');
      console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
    }
})
.catch(error => {
    console.error(`Error during removal of member ${userId}:`, error.message);
});
