|
The role management APIs are generally the preferred way to manage roles, rather than using
|
|
<<roles-management-file,file-based role management>>. The delete roles API cannot remove roles that are defined in roles files.

The following example deletes a `my_admin_role` role:
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
DELETE /_security/role/my_admin_role
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TEST[setup:admin_role]
|
|
|
|
If the role is successfully deleted, the request returns `{"found": true}`.
|
|
Otherwise, `found` is set to false.
|
|
|
|
[source,console-result]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"found" : true
|
|
}
|
