$ boundary roles remove-grants -id r_1234567890 -grant "ids=*;type=*;actions=read"
```

### Command options

- `-grant=<string>` - The grants you want to remove from the role.
You can specify grants in compact string format or JSON.
If you use JSON, be sure to escape it properly.
You can optionally specify multiple grants.
- `-ids=<string>` - The IDs of the roles you want to remove grants from.
You can specify one or more IDs.
If you specify multiple IDs using text, use commas to separate the IDs.
If you specify multiple IDs using JSON, use an array.
- `-version=<int>` - The version of the role you want to remove grants from.
If you do not specify a version, the command performs a check-and-set automatically.
