Syntax

-- Syntax for SQL Server and Azure SQL Database  
  
sp_droprolemember [ @rolename = ] 'role' ,   
     [ @membername = ] 'security_account'

sp_droprolemember 'role' ,  
     'security_account'

[ @membername = ] 'security_account'
Is the name of the security account being removed from the role. security_account is sysname, with no default. security_account can be a database user, another database role, a Windows login, or a Windows group. security_account must exist in the current database.

Remarks

sp_droprolemember removes a member from a database role by deleting a row from the sysmembers table. When a member is removed from a role the member loses any permissions it has by membership in that role.

To remove a user from a fixed server role, use sp_dropsrvrolemember. Users cannot be removed from the public role, and dbo cannot be removed from any role.

Use sp_helpuser to see the members of a [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] role, and use ALTER ROLE to add a member to a role.

Permissions

Requires ALTER permission on the role.

Examples

The following example removes the user JonB from the role Sales.

EXEC sp_droprolemember 'Sales', 'Jonb';  

Examples: [!INCLUDEssSDWfull] and [!INCLUDEssPDW]

The following example removes the user JonB from the role Sales.

EXEC sp_droprolemember 'Sales', 'JonB'
