How to Delete a Role

1 min readUpdated 23 October 2026

Delete a Vultr IAM role; its users and groups lose its permissions, but its policies remain and can be reused.

Deleting a role removes it from your organization. Users and groups that were assigned the role lose any permissions granted through it. The role can be restored using the Restore Role endpoint if you have its id.

Note

Deleting a role does not delete the policies attached to it. Policies remain available and can be attached to other roles.

Follow this guide to delete a role using the Vultr Console, the Vultr API, or Terraform.

Log in to the Vultr Console.
Click the organization name in the top navigation bar.
Click Manage Organization.
Click the Roles tab.
Click the Delete icon next to the role you want to delete.
Click Delete. The role is removed from the list. Users and groups that were assigned this role lose the associated permissions.
