> | Parameter name | Type | Required | Description |
> | --- | --- | --- | --- |
> | permissionType | String | Yes | Permission type a group will be removed from. Valid types (View, Edit). |
> | pageId | Number | Yes | The ID of the page to remove permission from. |
> | groupName | String | Yes | The name of a group to remove from permission. |

## Return Type

**Boolean (true/false)**

Returns true if the content permission was actually changed by the routine invocation, that is a group was actually removed from the specified content permission. Returns false if the content permission was not changed.

## Example

Disallows members of the "confluence-users" group to modify page with id 11508.

```javascript
removeGroupFromContentPermission("Edit", 11508, "confluence-users");
```


> ⚠️ If the routine returns false, it doesn't mean that the specified permission still exists for the group. It just means that the state of the content permission was not changed. For example, if the specified group wasn't in the specified content permission before the routine invocation, the routine will return false, because the state of the content permission was not changed. In order to check if the specified group has a certain content permission please use the following routine: groupHasContentPermission.
