Hi @questsin,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

After looking carefully at your `removeRolesFromUser` request, I noticed that you were not referencing your role\_id.

Could you please try the following instead and let me know how it goes:

```auto
 management.removeRolesFromUser({ id: 'google-oauth2|1049831542343243244176' }, { roles: [roles['nm3sys-subscriber']] }, function (err, roles) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
    }
 ...

```

Thanks,  
Rueben
