Delete application privileges APIedit

DELETE /_security/privilege/<application>/<privilege>

To use this API, you must have either:

the manage_security cluster privilege (or a greater privilege such as all); or
the "Manage Application Privileges" global privilege for the application being referenced in the request

application: (Required, string) The name of the application. Application privileges are always associated with exactly one application.
privilege: (Required, string) The name of the privilege.

The following example deletes the read application privilege from the myapp application:

DELETE /_security/privilege/myapp/read

If the privilege is successfully deleted, the request returns {"found": true}. Otherwise, found is set to false.

{
  "myapp": {
    "read": {
      "found" : true
    }
  }
}
