User Management and ACE Rules

What happens to ACE permission rules when a user is deleted?

When a user with ACE (Access Control Entry) rules applied is deleted, cleanup happens automatically:

  1. User's own ACEs are removed — all rules with ace_type='user' belonging to that user
  2. Path references are deleted — all ACEs pointing to /users/{user_id} paths (including group permissions referencing that user)
  3. No orphaned references — no dangling ACE references remain after deletion
