  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user performing the deletion has the necessary authorizations to delete roles for all selected users.
  Check Role Dependencies: Investigate if there are any dependencies or constraints related to the role that might prevent its deletion for certain users.
  Process Users Individually: If the bulk deletion fails, try to delete the role assignment for the users individually to identify which specific users are causing the issue.
  Consult Logs: Check the system logs or error messages for more detailed information about why the deletion failed for certain users.
