}Delete a customer role
Requires customers:write. A role with members is refused with 409 role_in_use — move them first. The database enforces it as well as this check does, so the answer holds against a membership created between the two.
System roles (owner, member) cannot be deleted and answer 404 together with a key that never existed.

}Authorizations
A staff session token, uk_st_…. Minted by sign-up, sign-in or the two-factor exchange. Only a 401 means it is spent; not_a_member (403) is about the organization named in X-Organization-Id and leaves the token good for the others.
Headers
The organization the caller is acting on — the org_… code that appears in the panel URL. It identifies; the membership JOIN is what authorizes, so a forged code reads nothing: the answer is not_a_member (403), which does not mean the session is over. Absent, the session's default organization answers, or — if that membership was revoked while the session was open — any other one the caller still holds.
Path Parameters
The role.
Query Parameters
Which environment to act in. A view parameter, valid only on the staff surface — a machine credential never chooses its environment, it is resolved from the key.
live, test Response
Deleted.
