# Delete a contributor

`DELETE /nodes/{node_id}/contributors/{user_id}/`

Removes a contributor from a node. This request only removes the relationship between the node and the user, it does not delete the user itself.

A node must always have at least one admin, and attempting to remove the only admin from a node will result in a **400 Bad Request** response.
#### Permissions
A user can remove themselves as a node contributor. Otherwise, only project administrators can remove contributors.
#### Returns
If the request is successful, no content is returned.

If the request is unsuccessful, a JSON object with an `errors` key containing information about the failure will be returned. Refer to the [list of error codes](#tag/Errors-and-Error-Codes) to understand why this request may have failed.

## Path parameters

- `node_id` string, required
- `user_id` string, required

## Response `204`
