Deletes a custom Role
.
When you delete a custom role, the following changes occur immediately:
- You cannot bind a principal to the custom role in an IAM
Policy. - Existing bindings to the custom role are not changed, but they have no effect.
- By default, the response from
roles.listdoes not include the custom role.
A deleted custom role still counts toward the custom role limit until it is permanently deleted. You have 7 days to undelete the custom role. After 7 days, the following changes occur:
- The custom role is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
- If an IAM policy contains a binding to the custom role, the binding is permanently removed.
- The custom role no longer counts toward your custom role limit.
