Is there any way to delete/remove admin user programmatically?

Question

I wanted to delete an admin user programmatically, I have only FTP access.

when faced with issues like this, try to simulate the actions in the admin controller. If you take a look in Mage_Adminhtml_Permissions_UserController::deleteAction() you will find a code similar to what @SanderMangel posted as an answer. — Marius, Oct 2, 2013 at 7:09
While trying to delete an admin user, just be careful to not delete admin user id 0. — Fiasco Labs, Oct 3, 2013 at 2:51
Hey Nived, can you post the error you've received on the BE? — Sander Mangel, Oct 7, 2013 at 8:36

Although untested it stands to reason that you can use the normal Magento flow like with all models

Mage::getModel('admin/user')->load('user id')->delete();

But again, I didn't test it.

Confirmed, this method works. My code: $model = Mage::getModel('admin/user'); $user = $model->loadByUsername($username); $user->delete();
