7. How to Delete a Role

When a role is no longer needed—perhaps because you’ve reorganized teams or replaced it with a more accurate permission set—you can permanently remove it from your system. Deleting a role is irreversible, so it’s important to ensure that no active employees rely on it before you proceed.

Warning: You cannot restore deleted roles.

Step-by-Step Guide

Warnings & Best Practices

• Irreversible: Once deleted, a role (and its custom permissions) cannot be recovered.

• Unassign First: The system will block deletion if any employee still holds the role—always reassign or remove it from every user beforehand.

• Audit Trail: Consider exporting a list of your roles or documenting their permissions before deletion for future reference or compliance audits.

Deleting unused or outdated roles helps keep your permission structure clean and reduces administrative overhead. By following the steps above—and ensuring no employees remain tied to the role—you can safely remove roles you no longer need, keeping your security model lean and accurate.
