Delete a Job Role

S
Written by Sunil Sharma

Delete a job role you no longer use. Everyone who has the role loses it from their profile.

Before you start

  • You need Admin access.

  • Check who's in the role first: the People column in Manage › Roles shows how many. If they should move to another role, change it on their profile in Manage › People before you delete.

Delete one role

  1. In the sidebar, select Manage › Roles.

  2. Hover over the role, select ⋯, then Delete Role. On the role's own page, use Actions › Delete Role.

  3. In Delete This Role?, select Yes, Delete.

    Note: You can't undo this. Everyone in the role has it removed from their profile, and nobody is told.

The role disappears from the Roles list.

The role menu in Manage › Roles with Delete Role highlighted

Delete several roles

  1. In Manage › Roles, tick the roles.

  2. Select Delete in the bar at the bottom of the page.

  3. Type DELETE ROLES in the box, then select Yes, Delete.

    Remember: You can't undo this. Everyone in these roles has their role removed from their profile.

The roles disappear from the Roles list.

What happens to people's skills

  • Skills that came only from the role, and that the person never rated or was reviewed on, are removed from their profile.

  • Skills they rated, or were reviewed on, stay on their profile.

  • Skills they added themselves stay as they are.

Good to know

  • Skills aren't deleted. They stay in Manage › Skills; only their link to the role goes.

  • HowNow library roles are only removed from your workspace. You can add one back from Add Role, but you'll need to map its skills again.
