Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Important
When an application queries a relationship that returns a directoryObject type collection, if it doesn't have permission to read a certain resource type, members of that type are returned but with limited information. For example, only the @odata.type property for the object type and the id is returned, while other properties are indicated as null. With this behavior, applications can request the least privileged permissions they need, rather than rely on the set of Directory.* permissions. For details, see Limited information returned for inaccessible member objects.
HTTP request
DELETE /devices/{id}/registeredUsers/{id}/$ref
Caution
If /$ref is not appended to the request and the calling app has permissions to manage the user who is a registered user of the device, the user will also be deleted from Microsoft Entra ID; otherwise, a 403 Forbidden error is returned. You can restore deleted users through the Restore deleted items API.
