NAME Remove-DbaDbRole
SYNOPSIS
Removes a database role from database(s) for each instance(s) of SQL Server.
SYNTAX
Remove-DbaDbRole [[-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>] [[-SqlCredential]
<Pscredential>] [[-Database] <System.String[]>] [[-ExcludeDatabase] <System.String[]>] [[-Role] <System.String[]>]
[[-ExcludeRole] <System.String[]>] [-IncludeSystemDbs <Switch>] [[-InputObject] <System.Object[]>]
[-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Remove-DbaDbRole removes role(s) from database(s) for each instance(s) of SQL Server.
PARAMETERS
-Database [<System.String[]>]
The database(s) to process. This list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be
processed.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-EnableException [<Switch>]
By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables
advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own
try/catch.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ExcludeDatabase [<System.String[]>]
The database(s) to exclude. This list is auto-populated from the server.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ExcludeRole [<System.String[]>]
The role(s) to exclude.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-IncludeSystemDbs [<Switch>]
If this switch is enabled, roles can be removed from system databases.

Accept wildcard characters? false
-InputObject [<System.Object[]>]
Enables piped input from Get-DbaDbRole or Get-DbaDatabase
Required? false

-Role [<System.String[]>]
The role(s) to process. If unspecified, all roles will be processed.
