Delete a Role
Deleting a role permanently removes it from your account. This action should only be taken when you are sure the role is no longer required, as any users assigned to the deleted role will lose access until they are reassigned a new one.
Alt: Screenshot showing what users see when they don't have access to the Roles section
If you don't have access: You won't see Settings > Roles or the Delete Role option. In this case, contact your Account Owner or Administrator
Who can Delete roles: Account Owners, Administrators, or users with Custom Roles that include delete role permission
Why deleting a role matters
Keeps your account secure – Removing unused or outdated roles prevents people from having unnecessary access to sensitive areas of your system
Prevents clutter – A lean list of roles makes it easier to manage and assign permissions correctly
Ensures accuracy – If your organisation has restructured or certain functions are no longer relevant, deleting old roles avoids confusion for administrators and team members
Before you delete
Reassign any users currently on that role to a new one, otherwise they will lose access
Double-check that the role is not actively used in your workflows or by a team
Consider duplicating the role first if you want to keep its settings for reference
How to delete a role
Navigate to the Roles section under Account Settings
Locate the role you want to remove
Click the three dots (⋮) next to the Edit button
Select Delete
The role will be permanently removed from your account once confirmed
