Delete a Custom Role

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0

The Atlas API uses HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide your Atlas username as the username and Atlas API key as the password as part of the HTTP request.

This endpoint requires that the Atlas user has the Owner role. To view the available Atlas users, click on Users & Teams in the left-hand navigation.

For complete documentation on configuring API access for an Atlas project, see Configure Atlas API Access.

Important

You cannot delete a custom role in the following scenarios:

  • When deleting the role would leave one or more child roles with no parent roles or actions.
  • When deleting the role would leave one or more database users with no roles.
DELETE /groups/{GROUP-ID}/customDBRoles/roles/{ROLE-NAME}
Parameter
Required/Optional
Description
GROUP-ID
Required.
The unique identifier for the project.
ROLE-NAME
Required.
The name of the role to update.

This endpoint might use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas API resources. All of these are optional.

Name
Type
Necessity
Description
Default
pretty
boolean
Optional
Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.
false
envelope
boolean
Optional

Flag indicating if Atlas should wrap the response in a JSON envelope.

This option may be needed for some API clients. These clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:

status
HTTP response code
envelope
Expected response body
false
