Learn how to delete a local user directly from an enrolled Mac
Leveraging Apple's MDM framework, Kandji provides administrators the ability to delete a macOS user account. Deleting a user in this way leverages the MDM protocol, meaning that as long as the device is online, an account should be deleted near-instantly. For information on erasing devices, see our guide here.
The delete user account command requires that the device be supervised and on macOS 10.13 or later.
