Delete Management Role

When Management Roles are no longer needed due to organizational changes, role consolidation, or discontinued functions, you can delete them from the system. This process removes the role and cleans up associated assignments and configurations.

Important Considerations

Deletion is permanent and affects all users: Deleting a Management Role removes it from all users who currently have it assigned. Ensure you have reviewed all assignments and dependencies before proceeding.

Consider deactivating or removing IAM Shop visibility before deletion to prevent new assignments while you plan the deletion process.
