The benefit of using Mikrotik's API is you can whip up a script to do something, then feed it a bunch of device IPs,

settings, change settings, monitor stats, etc.

Changing user group or deleting a user from a device

This shows how one can query a device for a list of configured users, then subsequently use API commands to

remove or alter settings for users (if they exist) referencing them by API .id:

## Retrieve a list of all users on a RouterOS device (with associated IDs):

users = {}

mt.get_reply_each('/user/getall') do |r, s|

if s.key?('!re') && s.key?('name')

users[s['name']] = {

:name => s['name'],

:group => s['group'],

:address => s['address'],

:comment => s['comment'],

:disabled => s['disabled'] == true,

:id => s['.id']

}

end

## Remove a specific named user (if found on the device):

mt.get_reply('/user/remove', "=.id=#{users['foo'][:id]}") if users.key?('foo')

## Make a named user (if found) an read-only user:

mt.get_reply('/user/set', "=.id=#{users['foo'][:id]}", "=group=read")
