# Delete an Application Role

API documentation for the FusionAuth Delete an Application Role API.

# Delete an Application Role

This API is used to delete a role from an Application.

note

When deleting a role on a universal application, a global API key is required. A tenant-scoped API key is not sufficient for this operation.

## Request

[!API Key Authentication](https://fusionauth.io/docs/apis/authentication.md#api-key-authentication)

Delete an Application Role by Id

DELETE/api/application/{applicationId}/role/{roleId}

OpenAPI Spec

#### Request Headers

`X-FusionAuth-TenantId`Stringoptional

The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.

The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.

Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.

See [Making an API request using a Tenant Id](https://fusionauth.io/docs/apis/authentication.md#making-an-api-request-using-a-tenant-id) for additional information.
