Dear all,

Is there a way to automate step 2 : delete the user entry added in iControl_REST_API_User

role using a curl request ?

Addind a user in a role needs to send a PATCH request to /mgmt/shared/authz/roles/<ROLE_NAME>

with json payload '{ "userReferences":[{"link":"https://localhost/mgmt/shared/authz/users/<USER_NAME>"}] }'

But how to delete, with a curl request, an entry in the userReferences array/subcollection (not using your manual method even if the suppression can be done with sed or ...)?

I try to find infos in icontrol user guide pdf but no way (https://cdn.f5.com/websites/devcentral.f5.com/downloads/icontrol-rest-api-user-guide-14-1-0.pdf).

Thanks for help ...
