Hi there,

I was working with the authorization extension API in particular adding and removing users from roles. Here I found a small fault in the documentation for removing a user from roles.  
The URL mentioned in the docs is “/users/{role\_id}/roles” I assume that this should be “/users/{user\_id}/roles” and the roles to remove in the payload. This is what I am using and seems to work fine.

Regards,  
Joost
