API: Delete Author

Delete an author using their email address - only for Elucidat resellers

Before using this call, you'll need to authenticate against the API as detailed in Making your first call to the Project API.

All of these examples have simulation mode turned on. Once you are ready to use in a production environment, you can remove the simulation parameter. Any changes will then affect your account.
