Note: If you attempt to delete a role definition that is currently in use by one or more static or dynamic role users, you must confirm deletion of the role definition. When you confirm, you remove all references to the role.

To delete the users who are assigned dynamically, use the NO_USERS query to locate the users. You invoke this query using the query rule with dynamic roles.
