sp_dropapprole [ @rolename = ] N'rolename'
[ ; ]
The application role to remove. @rolename is sysname, with no default. @rolename must exist in the current database.
0 (success) or 1 (failure).
sp_dropapprole can only be used to remove application roles. If a role owns any securables, the role can't be dropped. Before dropping an application role that owns securables, you must first transfer ownership of the securables, or drop them.
sp_dropapprole can't be executed within a user-defined transaction.
Requires ALTER ANY APPLICATION ROLE permission on the database.
The following example removes the SalesApp application role from the current database.
EXEC sp_dropapprole 'SalesApp';
