**DELETE** `https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/user/delegation/<delegation_id>`

Use this endpoint to cancel a pending delegation request or revoke an approved delegation. 


> **Info**
>
> Authenticate as a CertCentral administrator or manager with the **Delegate Verified Contacts** permission. The delegation must belong to the authenticated user's account.


> **Warning**
>
> A single request may create several delegation records for the same verified contact. These records are linked as a group. Deleting any one of them deletes the entire group, canceling or revoking the delegation for that contact.
