is there a way to remove a Role from a user using the Marketing Cloud SOAP API? I've retrieved the AccountUser object with the corresponding Roles, I remove the specific Role from the array and make an Update to that user and it's Roles. I get a successful response from the API but when I go check in Marketing Cloud the user still has the role I was trying to remove.

Any insights or past experience is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Use following soap request to remove role at business unit level:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">

<soap:Body>
    <ConfigureRequestMsg xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">

              <Configuration xsi:type="Role">

                         <AssignmentConfigurations>
                             <AssignmentConfiguration>
                                <AccountUserId>[USER_ID]</AccountUserId>
                                <BusinessUnitId>[MID_HERE]</BusinessUnitId>
                                <AssignmentConfigureType>RoleUserBusinessUnit</AssignmentConfigureType>
                                <!--TO DELETE ROLE FROM USER AT BUSINESSUNIT MARK TRUE -->
                                <IsDelete>true</IsDelete>
                             </AssignmentConfiguration>
                          </AssignmentConfigurations>
            </Configuration>
        </Configurations>
    </ConfigureRequestMsg>
</soap:Body>

  • Thank you! When I perform that request I get: <OverallStatus>OK</OverallStatus> But the change is not reflected in the UI. – patosapir Dec 6 '19 at 21:59
  • @patosapir this request is for removing roles assigned at Business Unit level and not directly assigned to the user. Please check how role was assigned. – Ros Haitovich Dec 7 '19 at 8:24

I've actually was able to do this based on the previous response provided, here's the SOAP body:

<soap:Body>
        <UpdateRequest
            xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
            <Objects xsi:type="AccountUser">
                <Client>
                    <ID>[[MID]]</ID>
                </Client>
                <UserID>psapirasdasd.devsutd</UserID>
                <Roles>
                    <Role>
                        <ObjectID>[[Role.ObjectID]]</ObjectID>
                        <AssignmentConfigurations>
                            <AssignmentConfiguration>
                                <AccountUserId>[[User.ID]]</AccountUserId>
                                <AssignmentConfigureType>RoleUser</AssignmentConfigureType>
                                <IsDelete>true</IsDelete>
                            </AssignmentConfiguration>
                        </AssignmentConfigurations>
                    </Role>
                </Roles>
            </Objects>
        </UpdateRequest>
    </soap:Body>

  • Thanks for sharing this code, I am trying to do the opposite - assigning a custom role to a user. I can't figure out how to do it. Do you mind sharing where do you find the fields name for 'AssignmentConfiguration'? – Eliott May 23 '20 at 15:52
