dropRole¶

Deletes a user-defined role from the database on which you run the command.

The dropRole command uses the following syntax:

{
  dropRole: "<role>",
  writeConcern: { <write concern> }
}

The dropRole command has the following fields:

Field	Type	Description
`dropRole`	string	The name of the user-defined role to remove from the database.
`writeConcern`	document	Optional. The level of write concern for the removal operation. The `writeConcern` document takes the same fields as the `getLastError` command.

You must have the dropRole action on a database to drop a role from that database.

The following operations remove the readPrices role from the products database:

use products
db.runCommand(
   {
     dropRole: "readPrices",
     writeConcern: { w: "majority" }
   }
)
