Re: [EP-tech] command line user delete?

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

Hi Herbert,
You can also add a line something like this:
    my $item_count = $user->owned_eprints_list( dataset => $user->repository->dataset( "eprint" ) )->count;
This will show how many EPrints the user owns.

I've got a GDPR related user clean-up script that also checks for other aspects such as:
- joined date
- if the account has been activate
- last login time
- if the account owns any eprints
- if the email address matches the contact_email for any items (can be part of the Request a Copy process)

I will share this on GitHub later (once I add some comments to it :)

Cheers,
John

Hi Herbert,

even though there is not an appropriate script in the official
distribution of E-Prints, consider yourself free to try to forge a perl
"one-liner" like this, that just uses the API:

eprintsuser:~ $ perl -Iperl_lib -MEPrints -E 'my $E = EPrints->new; my
$R = $E->repository("INSERT_REPO_ID_HERE");
$R->dataset("user")->search(search_fields => [{ meta_fields =>
["username"], match => "EQ", merge => "ANY", value => "gone leftoo"
}])->map(sub { say "Type of user ", $_[2]->value("username"), " is ",
$_[2]->value("usertype") });'

The upper quick and dirty demo code is deliberately non-destructive.
Once you replace the say-statement by $_[2]->delete I hope you have
double-proofread the given list of user names.


Regards

Florian Heß
