Remove a Microsoft Entra ID role from a user

1. In the left navigation, select Identity > Users.
2. Use the customer selector to choose the customers from where you want to select users. If the user list is empty or you can't find a specific user, refresh the page to show the most recent data.

   The user list displays. You can filter and search the data, choose the columns to display, and export to Microsoft Excel. See Navigation and tools for table options.

   

3. Select the user's name to view the details.
4. Go to the Roles tab and select the Microsoft Entra Roles tab.
5. Select the checkboxes for the roles you want to remove and select Remove assignments.

   When multiple customers are selected in the customer selector at the top of the dialog only options that apply to all selected customers display.

6. When prompted, review the summary of your request, and confirm.

The selected roles are removed from the Roles - Microsoft Entra Roles tab for the user.
