roledel - delete a role's login from the system
The roledel utility deletes a role account from the system and makes the
appropriate account-related changes to the system file and file system.
roledel also removes the role from each user's list of assumable roles.
The following options are supported:
-r
Remove the role's home directory from the system. This
directory must exist. The files and directories under the home directory will
no longer be accessible following successful execution of the command.
If the role's home directory is located on a separate ZFS
file system and the /etc/default/useradd file contains the parameter
MANAGE_ZFS set to the value YES, the file system will be
destroyed.

An existing role name to be deleted.

local /etc/group, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and

supplement the local /etc/passwd file with additional entries,
roledel cannot change information supplied by the network name service.
