When I try to Delete the Identity thru the Beta API I get a 500? I pull the Identity up fine with a GET Command 200 ? Why the 500? It wont allow me to delete in the tenant either? ![Screenshot 2024-05-16 160826](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/2X/8/86af376d363f5a301d3cccf54fe23fbdbacdd099.png) ![Screenshot 2024-05-16 160933](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/2X/8/857f759b2d88fc34d3177ad0154db883afec83e6.png) ---

Try to use the url given below > {{baseUrl}}/beta/identities/:id If this works, then while using beta api, add “/beta” on baseUrl in your postman’s environment configuration. Also, use “/v3” when using v3 api’s. Thanks! ---

Hi @TJ21 1.Ensure that your endpoint is valid and is formatted in a perfect way 2.Make sure your access token has the privilege to perform the delete operation of the identity.(Check the scope of the access token). 3.Ensure the headers and params of the api request is valid If all the api request configs are perfect then i guess it should have to be some error on the server side.

Is the identity the owner of any objects in your tenant, like sources, roles, access profiles, etc.? I believe that could be a reason why the delete isn’t working. ---
