Overview

This node operation deletes a specific SSH key associated with the authenticated user in GitLab. It is useful for managing user SSH keys by removing keys that are no longer needed or compromised. For example, a user can automate the removal of an old SSH key from their GitLab account to maintain security.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate deletion of an SSH key by its ID from a user's GitLab account.
  2. Remove a compromised SSH key from the user's GitLab profile programmatically.
