Close Account

The API request 1.73 Close Account will set the status of the account to "CLOSED" and no further interaction with the account will be possible following closure.

note

Closing an account is an irreversible action, following the closure of an account it cannot be used any longer.

info

When Closing an Account will automatically add a new GUID to the Email Address and External Account Reference, so the same user can later be registered again, if necessary.

In the example below, we close the account associated with the External Account Reference KDNR0001.

Additionally, state reason for the closing the account under the parameter "closingReason".
