# Remove trusted role from a User

`DELETE /api/users/{id}/trusted`

This endpoint allows the client to remove the trusted role for a user.
          The user associated with the API key must have an 'admin' or 'moderator' role.
          The specified user will be restored to 'general' status. Users are not notified
          of removing their trusted role in the UI, so if you want them to know about this, you must
          notify them.

## Path parameters
