Deleting roles

Removing roles from the OpenStack Identity is a simple one step. In this example, we will show how to delete a role named oldrole.

Getting ready

Ensure that you are logged on to a correctly configured OpenStack client and can access the OpenStack environment as a user with admin privileges.

Refer to Chapter 2, The OpenStack Client, for details of setting up your environment to use OpenStack command-line client.

In order to delete a role, execute the following commands:

Get the role's name from a current role list:
```
openstack role list
```
Delete the oldrole role:
```
openstack role delete oldrole
```
This command will have no output.

Deleting unnecessary roles is simple when using OpenStack command-line tool. Start with a command to get an existing role:

openstack role list

Delete a role by executing the following:

openstack role delete <role>

Here the <role> parameter can be either role ID or role name.
