Removing existing users and groups from the catalog is easy, but make sure to follow these steps closely to prevent yourself from being locked out.

​
Remove existing users and groups from the catalog

To remove existing users and groups from the catalog, follow these steps:
  1. From the admin sidebar section, select Plugins -> Catalog -> View
  2. Click the “modules” tab, and find the related module. A list can be found here:
    • GitHub - @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-github-org
    • GitLab - @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-gitlab-org
    • Entra Id - @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-msgraph
    • Okta - @spotify-portal/plugin-catalog-backend-module-okta
  3. Select “Manage module”
  4. Select “Stop module”

​
Disable existing Auth Provider

Do not remove an auth provider if you have plugins that rely on it for authentication. For example, if you use the GitHub Actions plugin, you should keep the GitHub auth provider enabled even if you’re switching to a different provider for user authentication.
  1. From the admin sidebar section, select App Settings -> Auth
  2. Now you can select the auth provider you want to disable and press the Stop button. Important: You can’t remove the last auth provider.
