WP_Role::remove_cap( string $cap )

Removes a capability from a role.

Parameters

$cap: (string) (Required) Capability name.

More Information

Changing the capabilities of a role is persistent, meaning the removed capability will stay in effect until explicitly granted.

This setting is saved to the database (in table wp_options, field 'wp_user_roles'), so you should run this only once, on theme/plugin activation and/or deactivation.

Source

File: wp-includes/class-wp-role.php

public function remove_cap( $cap ) {
		unset( $this->capabilities[ $cap ] );
		wp_roles()->remove_cap( $this->name, $cap );
	}
