Delete user via API

I am able to delete a user via the captivate api which seems to physically remove the user record. My question is there a way to "disable" the user via the api by setting the "state" attribute or is it best to physically delete the user record? just trying to figure out best practices.

Hi, how to you delete user profiles and how do you proved that they got "physically removed"?

I observed that the API does only change the state to DELETED. The delete action via the web UI has the same effect. To fully delete a user profile it is required to pruge them as documented by Adobe here https://helpx.adobe.com//captivate-prime/administrators/feature-summary/purge-users.html

Would be nice to know if you found a solution to directly remove user profiles via the API instead of just flagging them as deleted which just moves them into a read-only state and disables access in the web UI.
