Remove role from user

Remove role from user

Last updated 26 Sep 2026API v1

Method
POST
Path
https://api.returning.ai/roles/{userId}/{roleId}/remove

Authentication#

Header
Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>

Behaviour#

Legacy category

This endpoint is retained for compatibility, historical admin tooling, or test workflows. Do not use it as the default choice for new integrations unless the backend team confirms this exact route is still supported for your community.

What it is for

Remove role from user.

How to use it

Send a POST request to /roles/{userId}/{roleId}/remove with the documented body, query parameters, headers, or multipart fields. Prefer the newer authenticated /v1/... integration API where available.

Successful response

HTTP 2xx. Older endpoints may return a legacy response envelope or a resource-specific payload rather than the newer { status, message, data } wrapper.

Common error states
  • 400 invalid request body, query, ObjectId, pagination, file format, or missing required field.
  • 401 missing, invalid, expired, or insufficient API key/token.
  • 403 key is valid but cannot access this community/channel/user/resource, where supported by the service.
  • 404 route or target resource was not found. Several legacy root routes return 404 on https://api.returning.ai; confirm with Returning.AI before using them.
  • 409 duplicate or conflicting state for create/update operations, where applicable.
  • 500 unexpected Returning.AI service error.
Legacy status

Compatibility endpoint retained for older integrations. Do not use this endpoint for new integrations unless Returning.AI specifically tells you to maintain a legacy flow. Prefer the current /v1/... endpoint in the matching non-Legacy category when one exists.

Source-backed clarification

These are compatibility endpoints using older server/role terminology. Use them only when maintaining an existing integration. For new public docs and integrations, prefer community/user permission language and scoped API-key permissions.
