If your goal is to remove an access to an app you should remove it from the role and update it. For example:
```bash
# Fetch the role, modify it to remove permissions to kentik-connect-app and increment role version
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer glsa_kcVxDhZtu5ISOZIEt' \
-X GET '<grafana_url>/api/access-control/roles/basic_viewer' | \
jq 'del(.created)| del(.updated) | del(.permissions[].created) | del(.permissions[].updated) | .version += 1' | \
jq 'del(.permissions[] | select (.action == "plugins.app:access" and .scope == "plugins:id:kentik-connect-app"))'

### Manage user permissions through teams
In the scenario where you want users to grant access by the team they belong to, we recommend to set users role to `No Basic Role` and let the team assignment assign the role instead.
