Remove a customer user from a role

How to remove a user from a directory role within a customer account.

Prerequisites

  • Credentials as described in Partner Center authentication. This scenario supports authentication with App+User credentials only.

  • A customer ID (customer-tenant-id). If you don't know the customer's ID, you can look it up in Partner Center by selecting the Customers workspace, then the customer from the customer list, then Account. On the customer's Account page, look for the Microsoft ID in the Customer Account Info section. The Microsoft ID is the same as the customer ID (customer-tenant-id).

GDAP roles

You'll need the following GDAP role:

  • Privileged Role Administrator

C#

To remove a user from a directory role, select the customer with the user to modify with a call to the IAggregatePartner.Customers.ById method, From there, specify the role using the DirectoryRoles.ById method with the directory role ID. Then, access the UserMembers.ById method to identify the user to remove, and the Delete method to remove the user from the role.

// IAggregatePartner partnerOperations;
// string selectedCustomerId;
// string selectedRoleId;
// string selectedUserMemberId;

partnerOperations.Customers.ById(selectedCustomerId).DirectoryRoles.ById(selectedRoleId).UserMembers.ById(selectedUserMemberId).Delete();

Sample: Console test app. Project: Partner Center SDK Samples Class: RemoveCustomerUserMemberFromDirectoryRole.cs
