# DELETE /api/v1/database-users/{username}

> Hold a database-user deletion for confirmation

- Group: databases
- Tier: W
- Required scope: write:database
- Docs: https://api.inleed.com/reference/databases/delete-database-user

## Description

Confirms the user exists (and which database it belongs to), then returns `{status:"confirmation_required", confirmationUrl, …}`. It deletes nothing on this call.

## Path parameters

- `username` — string (required)

## Query parameters

- `input` — string (required). A domain, email address, website URL, or Inleed service id — for example example.se, info@example.se or 42976. Resolved to the owning account automatically, and the resolved target is echoed back in the response. Up to 255 characters.
- `attempt_key` — string. Idempotency key for this intent. Keep it stable across retries so a timed-out retry cannot buy the same thing twice.

## Request

```bash
curl -X DELETE "https://mcp.inleed.com/api/v1/database-users/inleed42" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer inl_live_…"
```
