Delete application privileges API

IMPORTANT: This documentation is no longer updated. Refer to Elastic's version policy and the latest documentation.

DELETE /_xpack/security/privilege/<application>/<privilege>

application (required): (string) The name of the application. Application privileges are always associated with exactly one application.
privilege (required): (string) The name of the privilege.

To use this API, you must have either:

the manage_security cluster privilege (or a greater privilege such as all); or
the "Manage Application Privileges" global privilege for the application being referenced in the request

The following example deletes the read application privilege from the myapp application:

DELETE /_xpack/security/privilege/myapp/read

If the role is successfully deleted, the request returns {"found": true}. Otherwise, found is set to false.

{
  "myapp": {
    "read": {
      "found" : true
    }
  }
}
