# Delete a role mapping

`DELETE /admin/roleMappings/{principalId}`

## Request

- The document declares no server URL.
- Auth: none declared

Deletes a single role mapping, effectively denying access to a user/principal.

This operation can fail for the following reasons:

* No role mapping for the principalId exists (HTTP error `404`)
* A server error occurred (HTTP error `500`)

## Response `204`

Response returned when the delete was successful.

## Other responses

- `401`: Common response for all operations that can return a `401` error indicating authentication is required.
- `403`: Common response for all operations that can return a `403` error indicating the user is authenticated but not authorized.
- `404`: Common response for all operations that can return a `404` error.
- `500`: Common response for all operations that can fail with an unexpected server error.
