Delete a Custom Role¶
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.

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.
