# Remove admins from child organizations

POST https://api.letsdeel.com/rest/organizations/children/admins/remove
Content-Type: application/json

Removes each submitted admin from each submitted child organization of the authenticated organization, in one call. Each pair gets the same result as Remove in the app: the admin loses their group and entity roles and leaves the child organization. A member who is not an admin of the child organization is reported as NOT_AN_ADMIN and nothing changes for them. Their Deel login and their other organizations are untouched. Deel never removes the last admin of a child organization: when a request would remove every admin of one, the last of them in the request is kept and reported as LAST_ADMIN, and nothing changes for that pair. The whole request is rejected, and nothing is written, when any id is not a direct child organization of the caller.

 **Token scopes**: `organizations:write`

Reference: https://docs.deel.wtf/api/reference/endpoints/organizations/remove-child-organization-admins

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — ## Authentication The Deel API uses bearer tokens to authenticate requests. All API calls must be made over HTTPS — calls over plain HTTP or without authentication will fail. ```curl curl -X GET 'https://api.deel.training/rest/v2/contracts' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR-TOKEN-HERE' ``` [Learn more about authentication](/api/authentication)
- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Standard OAuth2 security scheme based on https://swagger.io/docs/specification/authentication/

## Servers

- `https://api.letsdeel.com/rest` (Production, default)
- `https://api-staging.letsdeel.com/rest` (Demo)

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `data` (OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaData, required) — The request payload.

## Response

### 200

The outcome for every admin and child organization pair.

- `data` (OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaData, required) — The outcome of the request.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Bad request. Nothing is written. Codes: VALIDATION_ERROR (the request body failed validation, for example a malformed email, an email or child organization id listed twice, or an empty list; the error item also carries a details object naming the offending key), GENERIC_ERROR (the number of admins multiplied by the number of child organizations is above 100). The API gateway rejects a schema-invalid request body before it reaches Deel; each error item of that response carries a path field and no code.

- `errors` (list of OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required)

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized. The request token is missing or invalid. The API gateway rejects an unauthenticated call before it reaches Deel; a call that reaches Deel without a valid session is rejected by the access middleware, whose error item carries a message and no code.

- `errors` (list of OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required)

### 403 Forbidden Error

Forbidden. The caller lacks the permission to manage child organizations, or at least one submitted id is not a direct child organization of the authenticated organization. The message lists every rejected id. Nothing is written.

- `errors` (list of OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required)

### 404 Not Found Error

Operation failed.

- `request` (ApiErrorRequest, optional)
- `errors` (list of ApiError, optional)

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

Too many requests. Each partner organization can call this endpoint at most 20 times per hour, with up to 100 admin and child organization pairs per call. Nothing is written; retry once the hour has passed.

- `errors` (list of OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required)

### 500 Internal Server Error

An unexpected error occurred before any admin and child organization pair was processed. Nothing is written, and the same request can be retried.

- `errors` (list of OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required)

## Types

### OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaData

The request payload.

- `admins` (list of OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataAdminsItems, required) — The people to remove from every submitted child organization.
- `child_org_ids` (list of string, required) — Public ids of the target child organizations, as returned in the id field of the create child organization response. Every id must be a direct child organization of the authenticated organization. The number of admins multiplied by the number of child organizations must not exceed 100.

### OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaData

The outcome of the request.

- `items` (list of OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataItemsItems, required) — One item per admin and child organization pair of the request.

### OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems

- `code` (string, required) — Machine-readable error code.
- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable explanation of the error.

### ApiErrorRequest

- `method` (string, optional) — The HTTP method of the failed request
- `url` (string, optional) — The relative URL of the failed request
- `status` (double, optional) — The status code of the response
- `api_req_id` (string, optional) — The request ID of the failed request
- `docs` (string, optional) — A link to the official documentation for the requested endpoint resource
- `source` (string, optional) — The source handler which produced the returned error
- `code` (double, optional) — The code of the source handler which produced the returned error

### ApiError

- `message` (string, optional) — A description of the returned error
- `path` (string, optional) — The JSON path where input validation failed

### OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataAdminsItems

- `email` (string, required) — The email of the person. Each email may appear once per request, ignoring case.

### OrganizationsChildrenAdminsRemovePostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataItemsItems

- `email` (string, required) — The email of the admin, as submitted.
- `status` (enum, required) — The outcome for the pair. REMOVED means the person no longer belongs to the child organization. NOT_A_MEMBER means the person was not a member, and nothing changed. NOT_AN_ADMIN means the person is a member but not an admin of the child organization, and nothing changed. LAST_ADMIN means the person is the only admin of the child organization and was kept with their roles unchanged. FAILED means the pair could not be processed and nothing changed for it; the other pairs are unaffected.
  - Allowed values: `REMOVED`, `NOT_A_MEMBER`, `NOT_AN_ADMIN`, `LAST_ADMIN`, `FAILED`
- `child_org_id` (string, required) — The public id of the child organization.
