You can't delete a configuration profile from a Linode that has a `cannot_delete_with_subresources` [resource lock](ref:post-resource-lock) set for it. **Permissions and scopes** To call this operation, you need the following: - **Identity and access permissions**. Your user needs a role with these permissions assigned.
