Delete a user role

User roles are only available on webs hosted by servers running SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft or FrontPage Server Extensions 2002.

1. On Tools menu, point to Server, and then click Administration Home.
2. On the Site administration page, under Users and roles, click Manage roles.
3. Select the check box next to the role you would like to delete.
4. Click Delete selected role(s).

Notes

• If you don't see the Manage roles option, you are probably in a subweb that uses the user account and roles settings of a higher-level web site of the server or virtual server. To work with accounts and roles, either go to the top-level web site, or set up unique permissions for this subweb. See your network administrator or ISP for more information.
• You cannot delete the user role that is assigned to anonymous users. To delete this role, assign anonymous users to another role and then delete the desired role.
