Delete Role
How to Delete a Role
In 5day.io, you can delete any default or custom role, except for the Account Owner role.
Note: The Account Owner role is mandatory and always assigned to at least one user, so it cannot be deleted.
Steps to Delete a Role:
- Go to Account Settings.
- Click on Security & Permissions from the sidebar.
- Under the Roles & Permissions section, you will see the list of all roles (both default and custom).
- Find the role you want to delete.
- Click on the three-dot menu (⋮) next to that role.
- Select Delete.
- A confirmation box will appear — click Confirm to proceed.
✅ Once confirmed, the role will be permanently deleted from your system.
Important Notes:
- You can delete both default and custom roles, except for the Account Owner role.
- You cannot delete a role if it is currently assigned to active users — reassign users to a different role before deletion.
- Deleting a role is permanent and cannot be undone.
