Overview

This node allows you to delete an existing SFTP user from the SSH SFTP User resource in the mittwald mStudio API. It is useful for managing access control by removing users who no longer require SFTP access, thereby enhancing security and maintaining proper user management.

A practical example would be automating the removal of SFTP users when employees leave a company or when temporary access needs to be revoked.
