Delete a Permission
You can delete a permission that includes a specific administrator user or group, a specific role, or a specific
access group.
If you remove the last permission for an administrator user or group, that administrator user or group is
also removed. Because at least one administrator must have the Administrators role on the root access
group, you cannot remove a permission that would cause that administrator to be removed. You cannot
delete an inherited permission.
