How to remove specific user from item level permission through Rest API using power automate

Question

I have a list with each list item has unique permission. Now I need to remove specific user from the item level permission using Power Automate.

I know there is REST endpoint for removing group but not user:

_api/web/lists/getByTitle('[LIST_TITLE]')/items([ItemID])/roleAssignments/groups/removebyid([Group_PRINCIPLE_ID])]

kindly help me on this.

There is a REST endpoint to remove user permissions from list item.

Use this endpoint:

<siteUrl>/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('<listName>')/items(<ID>)/roleassignments/removeroleassignment(principalid=<userID>,roleDefId=1073741827)

Replace <userID> with the actual user ID.

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually want to remove the user directly from the item level permission means let's saya user xyz is there having permissions showing as 'Contribute,Edit,Read'. Now if I use above api I need to make 3 http call instead I want to remove the user from the permission settings page of the item.

How and why are you adding multiple permission levels to same user on single item? is it coming from group permissions?
