# Delete Pay Run Imports

Pay run imports can be deleted if the associated pay run has not been approved or paid. Deleting the import will remove all imported changes. **This action is irreversible.**

---

### Security

**Users must have the following permission to delete pay run imports:**

- Payroll → R365 Payroll → Payments → Edit Payments

These permissions can be added to [custom user roles](https://restaurant365.us.document360.io/doc/docs/custom-user-roles) or [individual users](https://restaurant365.us.document360.io/doc/docs/users-overview-and-security). The [Permission Access report](https://restaurant365.us.document360.io/doc/docs/generating-a-permissions-access-report) can be used to determine which user roles or users already have these permissions assigned. For more information, see [User Setup and Security](/doc/docs/user-setup-security-and-location-access).
