Delete a role

Deleting roles in your members area removes access from the members who held that role. Members lose permissions to any pages associated with that role. For example, if you delete an "Author" role, anyone who had it will lose their ability to write blog posts. If you want to keep a page restricted, you'll need to change the permissions of your member roles.

Click the More Actions icon next to the relevant role.
Click Delete role.
Click Delete role to confirm.
