Parameters

• roleName

  The role name to be deleted from the database.

Remarks

If the throwOnPopulatedRole parameter is set to false, then it deletes the specified role from the database regardless of whether it contains any users. If the throwOnPopulatedRole parameter is set to true, then an exception is thrown if the specified role in the database contains any users, but the role is not deleted.
