Deleting an author permanently removes their profile and all related metadata from your workspace.
This action cannot be undone, and any articles linked to this author will lose their reference — those articles must be reassigned to another author before deletion.

​
Rules

  • ✅ id is required to identify the author to delete
  • ⚠️ Articles associated with this author should be reassigned first
  • ❌ Deleted authors cannot be restored or recovered later
  • ❌ Deleting an active author without reassignment may cause missing references in articles

​
Validation & Behavior

  • Once deleted, the author’s data and localized fields are permanently removed
  • Attempting to delete a non-existent author returns a 404 Not Found response
  • Soft-deletion is not supported for authors — the deletion is immediate and irreversible
  • To temporarily disable an author, use isActive: false instead of deleting them
