   The :mc-cmd:`alias <mc alias>` of a configured MinIO deployment with the user or group for which you want to detach one or more policies.

.. mc-cmd:: POLICY
   :required:

   The name of the policy to detach from either the user or the group. 
   You may detach multiple policies at once by separating each policy name with a space.

   MinIO deployments include the following :ref:`built-in policies <minio-policy-built-in>` by default:

   - :userpolicy:`readonly` 
   - :userpolicy:`readwrite`
   - :userpolicy:`diagnostics`
   - :userpolicy:`writeonly`

.. mc-cmd:: --user
   :optional:

   The username of the identity you want to detach the policy or policies from.
   You may only list one user.

   You must include either the ``--user`` flag or the ``--group`` flag.
   You may not use the ``--user`` flag at the same time as the ``--group`` flag.

.. mc-cmd:: --group
   :optional:

   The name of the group identity you want to detach the policy or policies from.
   You may only list one group.

   All users with membership in the group lose access to any permissions granted by the policies associated to the group, unless those are granted by other policies or groups the users belong to.

   You must include either the ``--group`` flag or the ``--user`` flag.
   You may not use the ``--group`` flag at the same time as the ``--user`` flag.
