Hi,

We are interested too in being able to remove some default role like ‘Production Editor’ etc. in order to help our Journal Manager
We use 3.0.2

Thank you

Hi @kara28,

You can override the check that prevents deleting default roles by removing them from the database directly. See the user_groups and user_group_settings tables. I don’t think this will have adverse side-effects e.g. in the case of the Production Editor role, but note that you’ll be moving into uncharted territory – I’d suggest making a backup and testing thoroughly to see if something breaks before moving ahead.
