Method: projects.roles.delete

Deletes a custom Role.

When you delete a custom role, the following changes occur immediately:

  • You cannot bind a principal to the custom role in an IAM Policy.
  • Existing bindings to the custom role are not changed, but they have no effect.
  • By default, the response from roles.list does not include the custom role.

A deleted custom role still counts toward the custom role limit until it is permanently deleted. You have 7 days to undelete the custom role. After 7 days, the following changes occur:

  • The custom role is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
  • If an IAM policy contains a binding to the custom role, the binding is permanently removed.
  • The custom role no longer counts toward your custom role limit.
