The assigned permissions are used with the API Authorization Core feature set. To learn more, read [Role-Based Access Control](/docs/manage-users/access-control/rbac). ## Prerequisites For role-based access control (RBAC) to work properly, you must enable it for your API using either the Dashboard or the Management API. The Authorization Core functionality is different from the Authorization Extension. For a comparison, read [Authorization Core vs. Authorization Extension](/docs/manage-users/access-control/authorization-core-vs-authorization-extension). ## Use the Dashboard 1. Go to [Dashboard > User Management > Users](https://manage.auth0.com/#/users) and click the name of the user. 2. Click the **Permissions** view, then click the trash can icon next to the permission you want to remove, and confirm. ![Auth0 Dashboard User Detail list of permissions assigned to this user](https://images.ctfassets.net/cdy7uua7fh8z/4vShfxoUcSpCDnM5FnAbsR/de85942623430e3cedc097addbaa2f9d/User_Details_-_Permissions_-_English.png) ## Use the Management API Make a `DELETE` call to the [Delete User Permissions endpoint](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users/delete_permissions). Be sure to replace `USER_ID`, `MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN`, `API_ID`, and `PERMISSION_NAME` placeholder values with your user ID, Management API access token, API ID(s), and permission name(s), respectively. ```bash cURL lines theme={null} curl --request DELETE \ --url 'https://{yourDomain}/api/v2/users/USER_ID/permissions' \ --header 'authorization: Bearer MGMT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN' \ --header 'cache-control: no-cache' \ --header 'content-type: application/json' \ --data '{ "permissions": [ { "resource_server_identifier": "API_ID", "permission_name": "PERMISSION_NAME" }, { "resource_server_identifier": "API_ID", "permission_name": "PERMISSION_NAME" } ] }' ``` ```csharp C# lines theme={null} var client = new RestClient("https://{yourDomain}/api/v2/users/USER_ID/permissions");
