I used Administration>Add User in ArcCatalog 10.5.1 using a sa connection to an enterprise database based on Windows, ArcServer 10.3.1, SQL Server 2016 RC3 to add a user named "temp"  for a demonstration.  Now I want to delete user "temp",  but I can't figure out how.  I tried with SSMS,  but it reported it was unable, that there was also a schema named "temp".  Was "temp" an unfortunate name choice, or do I want to also delete this schema? 

All I could find was this suggestion for a Drop tool. https://community.esri.com/ideas/9405

Hi Paul,

Did you ever clear this? We have the same case here, having created users with ArcGIS (therefiore also schemas in the underlying PGSQL RDMS).

Is there a way for a clean & easy deletion of these users (and schemas) using ArcGIS, ArcPy, or -as a last resort- ArcObjects?

I do not particulalry want to delete the schema in PgAdmin, as I guess there would remain traces of it somewhere deep in the SDE schema of that database.

ESRI people, any advice welcome - many, many thanks!!

Best regards,

Hélène.

Not sure if the Pro has a tool to delete the database user or the only way to do it is from SQL server
