Summary
Administrators may want to delete the out-of-the-box 'pre-defined' user roles. This article provides information on which roles cannot be removed and guidance on deleting the other non-essential roles.
Environment
Jira Align
Solution
The system user roles: ‘System', ‘Super Admin’, and 'Team Member’ cannot be deleted.
As a result, the 'Delete' button is not available for these roles.
All other roles can be deleted as outlined in the following help page Manage system roles
ℹ️ The permission toggle: Administration> Roles and Additional Options > Manage Roles is needed in order to be able to delete roles.
⚠️ if there are users still assigned to a given role when it is deleted, then they will be assigned to the default role automatically.
